Missouri Pacific built this group of hoppers in their own De Soto Shops. They adopted this large buzzsaw paint scheme in the early 1960s. If you weren’t from the region, you might think MP would not be much of a coal hauler. In fact, MP moved considerable amounts of coal from Illinois, Missouri, Texas and Colorado and maintained a fleet of many thousands of hopper cars. This paint scheme will be available in six road numbers.
