Two years ago, and not too far from where Charlie's picture was shot, I caught this:
At the time I thought the "UNLOAD THIS SIDE ONLY" to be unusual on a covered hopper, and didn't notice, until later viewing the photo, that it's a pressure differential car, with pipe connections on that side.
As the train passed, I also got a nice shot of a caboose, although not exactly part of the train:

This was west of Alliance on the Ft. Wayne line on her way home. 8/21/2012. I just can't fathom that it has been 4 years already.
