Conrail 433165 has just arrived on the interchange track with a load of ballast for the Cape Ann. It is being switched onto a side track at Kenton to wait for the next work train to be made up.
This Tyco hopper has the stock Conrail lettering. It has had the interior painted rust color, and a removable ballast load set in place. The ballast load is a mix of coarse sand and white latex caulk, applied to a piece of mat board, and painted grey. The speckled rust effect on the car sides was made by making distant passes with a spray can of red auto primer, gradually making each pass closer until the desired effect was achieved.
