Lenny,
While I can not answer the particular question at this time I do
have another Pabst observation.
During the mid 60's through the mid 70's they did load a fair
amount of corn grits from their Peoria plant to Milwaukee.
This business was routed CB&Q/BN IHB MILW and was
usually loaded in CB&Q 852xx or 853xx series cars.

of Pabst or of any inbound shipments to Pabst off the Q or BN. I reckon
they may have gotten malt and corn or corn products too.
