Check out the Wash. State DOT home page. Look for "Grain Train" under
"Public Transportation and Rail Division." There's a great color picture of
the state owned grain cars plus a narrative of why the state purchased them
and how and where they are operated.

The address is: http://www.wsdot.wa.gov/

Duffy Littlejohn's "Hopping Freight Trains in America" should have some
photos, though I do not believe he includes the luxurious 2 bedroom
Canadian grainers.

I was hoping to find someone who has a drawing of a grain car, or for
that matter gondolas, flatcars or boxcars. I am doing a presentation
at school tomorrow (heh) about riding trains and I need to draw (or
find) a picture of a grain car to help to explain about the holes on
each end that a tramp can ride in. I can draw one, but maybe someone
HAS one already. Thanks
