Detroit and Mackinac Help!
Detroit and Mackinac Help!
Hey ya'll, so i'm building a fleet of former Missabe cars for cement service. Does anyone have a few pictures of these cars?? only two can be found on rrpicturearchives site and I know most retained their missabe paint, but at least a couple were painted totally out. those are the ones i'm trying to nail down. thanks well in advance for anyone who can give a few pictures or help.

Do you happen to have car numbers, Patrick? I suspect those were gone before I took many pictures up there, but you never know what might be sitting in my digital archives...

those would be the 5000 series covered cement hoppers. they would be from the late 80's to early 90's. i personally dont remember seeing them myself, but i think they're cool.
