A good friend of mine grew up in Ravenna Ohio, practically on the ballast shoulder of the ERIE's westbound main. Quite close to there, in Ravenna, I believe, there was a mill which was called "Red Comb Pioneer Feeds." He says that they had a small fleet of two-bay covered hoppers "like the Roundhouse model, with closed sides." 2000 Cu Ft. They carried CRDX reporting marks. I believe my friend said that the logo was a rooster with a bright red comb. I'd like to find a photo, VERY preferably in color (even if faded) with the intent of making decals to do this car. I'd accept a black and white photo if nothing else comes up, and a B&W photo might be useful for layout if it's more straight-on to the side of the car. But a color shot would be great so I can get some idea of what was colored what color. I don't know the range of these cars, nor what direction they would have traveled, so they could have shown up anywhere. Do any of you have something that would help on this? TIA SGL La vita e breve, mangiate prima il dolce!
