KCS 288753 - Grain Hopper
Built August 2016 by Trinity Rail, this 5201 cubic ft grain hopper served as part of KCS's newest fleet of grain hoppers built between August 2015 and June 2017. Unlink the ACF and Gunderson hoppers from the previous decade, the newer hoppers no longer wear the KCS Retrobelle paint scheme.
Rolling above the former MKT mainline into Houston, the railcar is seen here on an empty CPKC grain train utilizing KCS trackage rights on the former SP through Houston as it makes its way back to the Midwest from Mexico.
