Re: [CBQ] C&S hoppers

We would see C&S hoppers occasionally in the coal fields especially the 70 
tonners and later the 100 tonners. And in the early fifies the composite gons 
showed up a lot (remember this was the time of chronic car shortages in the 
wintertime).

Mike,

What I can share with certainity is that we spotted a C&S hopper at 
Builders Supply in Aurora,IL in the early to mid 70s with a load of landscaping 
rock in it. 

At that time Builders Supply was located on North Ave directly west of the 
Aurora depot and on trackage handle at one time by the "Alley Job".

Ps-I pass thru Mahomet on a regular basis while in route to Champaign to 
make payments to the U Of I. (!!??)Seems like a nice place to live.
