This was a surprising discovery today in Charlotte. The only patching that has been done was by a tagger.

This series of covered hoppers was built for the WP by FMC in 1980 ,according to the WP Freight Cars Page

Good catch Danny. Keep this forum in mind for anymore of those rare fallen flag rolling stocks.
