LSRC 8005 - Former WRRC Aggregate Hopper
Summer means limestone and aggregate traffic increase on the Lake State Railway. LSRC has done a good job growing their on-line traffic, leading to a need for more rail cars. On this cool September morning, there was a big cut of these rock hoppers on the Y126 turn bringing these cars south from Bay City to Saginaw.
LSRC 8005 is an open-top aggregate hopper that used to run in rock service in Texas for the Western Rail Road Co (a shortline connecting to the UP in Dittlinger, TX).
