Anyone come across a weathered example photo of this ROCK hopper:

What roads got these after CNW?

If they were still able, they likely went to the UP or a leasing company like NOKL or other.

Here are a few that might provide inspiration (if not the exact prototype):

That UP one is great.  Sure, I'll compromise. ;D

Not the same car, but I know I have more shots of this one if they'd be useful.

I wouldn't be surprised if AEX, CRDX, or FURX (among others) had some of these. Most remaining Rock cars are in potash service and a handful are in grain service. On a different note, I handled two Thrall ex-Rock cars last year.
