Title:  ACFX 45586, close up of info
Description:  I took this photo of ACFX 45586, which was part of a DME/ICE train in Davenport, IA, on 1-14-2012, to show a random sample of information painted on the outsides of covered hoppers. Some have more info, others less, still others have different amounts and styles, but this gives an idea for modelers and those who want "the rest of the story",
