I've seen almost every other clay company's covered hoppers except Theile's. I see mostly J.M Huber and Penford & Ford but I have seen Engelhard, KT Clays, Georgia Clays, ECC International and Bentonite. I don't know if HC Spinks and United Clays has any.......wait a moment, I think I saw an United Clays too.

Hello everybody,

I have seen plenty of those tankers in tan over dark blue scheam with blue writing but I have not seen any of the pressureaid covered hoppers.

Has anybody seen them and what are there reporting marks and number series?

Any help with this would be very appreciated.
Andrew
