Indiana Harbor Belt 4013 has the same slight rusty stain on its deck stripe as its leading sister, IHB 4019. Other than that, this unit is as clean and shiny as any newly built unit. |

Not a common sight in northwest Indiana/northeast Illinois, also find it interesting that it has been tagged. Not too many tankers are tagged when compared to boxcars, especially the white ARMN reefers. Now they are a white canvas begging to be painted! |
