This posting is a bit of an add-on to last week’s Freight Car Friday.<\/p>\n

Mixed in with the leased GATX hoppers featured last week were a number of Wisconsin Central hoppers and even a pair of ex-Ontario Northland AC 8600 series hoppers<\/a>. This post highlights the various WC series seen. Multiple examples of each series depicted below were seen and photographed, but only one representative will be shown here.<\/p>\n

\"SAMSUNG<\/a><\/p>\n

This first car was quite obviously a former Burlington Northern car, built by Bethlehem Steel. From series WC 33000-33199.<\/p>\n

\"SAMSUNG<\/a><\/p>\n

This next car represents a series of cars built by Pullman-Standard for\u00a0Kansas City Power &\u00a0Light (KCLX). The SSAM reporting marks it now bears are for WC subsidiary Sault Ste. Marie Bridge Co.\u00a0Series SSAM 33250-33374. At least one of this series was also seen and photographed in my summer 2013 visit.<\/p>\n

\"SAMSUNG<\/a><\/p>\n

This second variation of SSAM hopper appears to be a Greenville built car, of unknown origin. (Possibly also ex-KCLX?) Series SSAM 33700-33919.<\/p>\n
