I am looking for on-line sources of color pictures of some naturally aged/weathered working coal hoppers that started life in that Metal Oxide red, or mineral red color.

Ideally something that has been around 5 to 10 years or more & is showing the effects of that.

For weathering reference.

Thanks

I'll answer my own question after coming across this site , it may be helpful to others looking for prototype photos::

http://www.railcarphotos.com/Search.php

If you put a query, such as, Coal , in the 'Enter Car Notes' box, it will find hoppers for you.

A very useful resource.
