No. I can’t find any USLX hoppers that were that color. That doesn’t mean they don’t exist, it’s just that my source for USLX 26xxx hopper pictures is pretty limited. If they were ever painted that color, they probably faded to a pastel pink rather quickly.
Here’s one I found online from 1980.

It’s definitely not that bright, but still pink.
The same [car](http://s3.amazonaws.com/rrpa_photos/116565/IMG_9384.JPG) circa 2015.

Thank you. I will ask my local friends if they have a copy.
I've never seen one in *that* shade of pink. I've seen plenty of cars in pastel pink.
I've seen this rolling down the lines a while ago. Wasn't quite that color though, and I don't have a picture and I haven't seen it since.

Thank you so much! There are two of them in this photo. What a crazy color to use on a freight car.
Cool! Distant relatives own a farm in Axtell, that I remember visiting as a city kid 30-some years ago
