You all probably have known about this for ages, but nobody told me.  Found it today while trying to find photo of a CNW mail baggage.

I have a mind like a steel trap...a VERY rusty, old steel trap.

Lots of great photos on that site.  Looks like they've added some since my last visit.

Make sure you try the search function as there are a lot of photos mixed into folders you might not expect.

@wcfn100 I hadn't seen this CGW hopper before, and it's tucked away in the CRI&P Mech Engineering files from Philip Weibler:

Ha, that's actually why I posted about the search.  I had found the same car.

I think this is the same hopper that's in a couple of the Car Builders Cyclopedias.
