If I was any kind of rolling stock enthusiast, I would be able to identify that car based on your photo :)<br /><br />However...if you need an excuse to head back there...that's OK, too!<br /><br />I struggle with the idea of how many photos/how much text to include. Is it one too few or one too many? There's always the idea of serializing into multiple parts...ah, the trials of a blogger!<br /><br />Thanks,<br />EricErichttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11822288099043790296noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3680264279342137192.post-35388573933448313212013-08-13T20:09:40.726-04:002013-08-13T20:09:40.726-04:00Thanks, Eric.

You've given me a good excuse to head back there soon and get a shot of that car.

As you did, I like to scour around yards for unique rolling stock, or as you mentioned in Ottawa, take what you can find!<br /><br />The ballast car is a former 'slab-side' covered hopper that's had its roof removed.<br /><br />Interesting car coupled to the RDC, perhaps a coil car?<br /><br />I included 6002 in the Disposition section of my Trackside with VIA: Cross-Canada Compendium book...it moved east with five other RDC9's and 6401 on CN train No 318 on Aug 15, 1987, seen at CN's Belleville yard by my dad. The Railiners were stored at Les Cedres/Cedars QC, sold to Walmsley in 1998.<br /><br />Here's the sum total of my Walkley Yard railfanning, during a taxi ride no less (tenth photo in this post):<br /><br />http://tracksidetreasure.blogspot.ca/2010/08/canadian-forces-move-by-rail.html<br /><br />Thanks for sharing,<br />EricErichttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11822288099043790296noreply@blogger.com
