UG-Republic and BNSF 474538 covered hopper
Title:  UG-Republic and BNSF 474538 covered hopper
Description:  UG-Republic and BNSF 474538 covered hopper serving up United Grain (in the background) on the blind haul-through tracks that arc around the warehouse (not sure if its still Northwest Pack vegetable/fruit canner/packer warehouse - the old Del Monte competitor from a couple blocks away) under skies that are threatening to return to topping off the rain gauge, which hasnt overflowed yet (but only because someone keeps emptying it). And can I say it? Would it really kill you to buy a $3.99 can of spray paint and hit this little unit with a registry number?
