RE: (erielack) Erie 3 bay covered hoppers?

Seems to me that I have a couple of sets of the Con-Cor cars, packed away. 
After looking at the photo, I was wondering, weren't all of the Con-Cor cars 
(Erie and EL) done in gray? Also, any idea of what was generally carried in 
these cars, as I don't recall ever seeing them in Huntington, IN.
