I worked on 11 coal hoppers for the Rock Island - 5 bathtub gons and 6 new Trinity hoppers. These will be part of my new coal train...
New hoppers:
Old hoppers from the 80s:
With the C44-9W (AC4400s to follow soon)
The old Route Rock cars need more weathering, but this is a start!

What weathering colour did you use for that loco Jeff?

I used a light overspray of Rust-Oleum Rusty metal primer. It's just the right color. I use it on my rails also.

I'm not an expert in Model RR, but as for weathering I have a little experience. If you have another car, which can be sacrificed, paint it with this same paint, as it looks good for a rusty object, but then I would suggest to take a flat top round brush ( like the ones used in wall stencilling ) not too big in dia. though, and try to dry dabbing some medium orange on the tops, especially where you think sun will strike on, and on the otherside, where you think there will be moisture or could be most of the time in shade and can accumulate condensation or water dripping, try dabbing some dark brown.
A metal piece normally tend to rust alot on the tops where they get wet first, but when it dries up rust tend to turn orange, then the "water paths" stain the side from where it normally drips, and then accumulating in corners or edges of frameworks, that's where the dark brown should be.
I donno about you all guys, but I can speak for myself, that I saw alot of rusted metal in 18 yrs of working in a metal factory
As I said above, if you have another car ( or box car ) to sacrifice, try it out as I explained above. You should see a better result.
No offence about your layout, since U did an awesome job.

I wanted a transfer caboose but couldn't find one at my LHS. SO,.... I had this Model Power work caboose and crane laying around.
Hey Jeffrey,
Some years ago I wanted a transfer caboose too and came to the same conclusion on the model power work caboose.
It has recently taken a plunge and is awaiting repairs......
Here's a pic from it's days of working the rock train at the quarry:
