[CBQ] C&S 55 ton coal hoppers. Used on Lines East?

["Michael" <atsf3460@frontier.com>]

I'd like to know if the C&S fleet of coal hoppers generally stayed online or 
whether they may have been considered part of the general fleet of coal cars on 
the CB&Q.  I've been thinking that some of their 55 ton USRA cars would look 
good mixed with the "Q" 3 bays and composite gons and hoppers.

My thoughts are that they were kept on their own C&S lines and weren't used 
throughout the CB&Q system.  I don't think the Bulletin on the coal fields 
mentions these cars as part of the equipment used.  Thanks!
