Came from TRU just before Christmas of 1977!
Nice!
But when you said "Reynolds aluminum covered hopper" I expected something that looked like a baked potato!
Lol!I don't know what else to call it!
Baked potatoes DO have a railroad connection, don't ya know?

There's even a Northern Pacific "Great Big Baked Potato" song! Although honestly, it's not something Michael Buble', Taylor Swift, or Lady Gaga are likely to cover.

Nice car never seen one. I would like to find one of those. My father worked for Reynolds aluminum in McCook Il. till he retired in the mid 80s. The place is now long gone.

Kev, From The North Bluff Above Marseilles IL.
Reynolds was a BIG employer here in the Richmond VA area until someone in the executive suite fouled up big time in the late 90's causing a sell-out to Alcoa.
The corporate campus is still out on West Broad Street near Route 64, but adapted for other uses now.
I got it for 18 bucks on The Bay!
