These covered hoppers were either purchased or leased by the Cotton Belt for a short period of time in the late 1970's or early 1980's. The ones I have seen have been painted light blue with a quick splash of paint over the previous initials and new SSW marks. The numbers seem to have been original with no railroad herald or marks, so they were probably privately owned cars. More info on them is certainly needed. They featured 4700 ft3 capacity.
