Waste Management gondolas

Back when I lived in central MD, Waste Management was running large capacity hoppers out of its Jessup facility. They looked like super sized Coalporters and were painted green with WM markings. I’m unable to find any good photos of these. Did anyone capture them?


WM also had a house SW switcher painted green. Would like to get images of it too.


Thanks,


Bryan

Thanks, John. My 20+ year memory of the WM hoppers was telling me they were green. Note to self, fact check memories over 20 years old, which is now 2/3 of my life.

It took me a while, but I kept looking and found it. Surprisingly, my memory spot on. Here's the car I was referring to. They are apparently no longer in use. Looks like a Coalporter doubled in length and height.
