https://www.facebook.com/IllinoisRailwa ... L5p9Q3J1Bl "Illinois Railway Museum April 29 We are pleased to announce that we have acquired ICG 767253, a covered hopper built in 1980 by Pullman-Standard. This 4750-type car is typical of one of the most successful and popular covered hopper designs of the 20th century. We'd like to thank Canadian National Railway for their generous donation of 767253. Learn more at http://www.irm.org/in-the-news/museum-a ... red-hopper" I couldn't find a photo of ICG 767253 in its original scheme, but the bottom photo shows a different car in the same series, likely in the original scheme of the car IRM received. Top photo IRM; bottom photo John R. Schmeling, 1989.
