Anyone have any information of the new hoppers lettered for the B&LE sitting at the south end of Conneaut Yard. The rumor is that 300 to 400 are on the way. Wondering why they would be lettered for the B&LE and who owns them?

The Bessemer owns them. The 3 bay and 4 bay hoppers are in bad shape and US Steel pressured CN to get new cars due to product loss (leaking way too much ore). These are not brand new, they are ex-WFRX. There should be beyond 600 of them once they’re finished at which time the old cars will presumably be retired.
