Unusual Woodchip Hopper Numbers
Posted: Sat Dec 30, 2023 3:42 pm
Hi all
I hope this is the right place to post this.
I've moved to the Oreogn Coast about a year ago and frequently check out the Georgia-Pacific Pulp Mill in Toledo, OR. There are always hi-cube boxcars and old woodchip hoppers servicing the mill.
Recently I started seeing woodchip hoppers with the letter "R" and the word AGE after the hopper's number. I was wondering if anyone knew what this meant. I use rrarchives.net and can't find photos of these before I started adding a few.
Here is one of the cars in question. Sorry it came out a bit blurry
Thanks for any help
Nick
