LaVerne,
It was assigned. It's funny but I can not remember ever getting a
car for Hy-Vee at Chariton. Lots of cars for "Chariton Wholesale
Grocery". Were they the same thing?

Russ, Sorry, do not know for certain, but am guessing they were
not the same thing. Others might know for sure and will respond.
I recall HyVee was doing construction work on the north/northeast
side of their building and was in the process of filling in the
track area to bring it up to floor level and were extending the
building.
I presume the switch engine is no longer assigned to Chariton?
