Ken is right. The exact same cars were released with different numbers and
without the beet service lettering several years ago, alas, I was only able to
grab one.
When the "beet service" lettered 6 packs came out, I picked them up and
stripped the beet service lettering faster than you can say 'lines east'.
They now are in coal service!

Walthers released these cars a couple years ago without the beet
lettering. I think they are just trying to sell more of them. Me I would
strip the "beet loading" off and put in coal. 8^)
