This ends the book, Jan "64 thru Dec "67.
27 foreign roads with 42 cars. SOU with 5 including toilet paper to
Chariton & furniture); GN (lbr & corn), IC (1 with mattresses to Des
Moines), B&O (machinery) and SP q with wallboard from Dodson, MO) - 3 ea;
and 2 ea from NP (1 sealed on 3 consecutive days!), C&NW (copper and a
partially loaded car of washing machines pulled by the local by mistake) &
UP (1 with wheat loaded on MKT). One ea from C&O, PRR (bagged feed to
Cambria, IA), T&P, MP (paper), CP, KCS (signal matl to Batavia, IA), NYC
(beans from Osceola), AT&SF, P&LE
(washers from Philco @ Fairfield to Savannah, GA), SAL, C&EI, D&H, SOO
(corn), RDG (mdse), GTW and GM&O. Plus one very odd one!
A NH box loaded @ Galesburg with bagged sand for company use - why use a
foreign road box for company sand??? Also the last several years mentioned
Philco washers coming from Fairfield - I didn't know Philco ever made
laundry equipment, thought it was just radios/TV's.
Private & RR subsidiaries numbered 19 with 55 cars. SLRX (Bud) again led
with 28 but several are listed as beer being iced. There were 3 ea from
RBNX (Div. of FGE carrying Pabst), FGE and BUDX (Div. of ART). There were 2
ea from WFE (1 with barrels), RBBX and DSD now owned by Pullman but still
carrying Schlitz. One ea from SFRE, URTX, BREX, PFE, NPM, RBWX (WFE mark
carrying canned goods), MNX (National), PSPX (Phillips Petroleum with LP
gas), ART and MWEX (URTX "LO" class car). A PRR trailer on a TTX flat was
also sealed.
The Q had 14 frt cars including an RBBQ off the St. Joe Div (only time agt
remarked origin by Q div rather than station), 30046 with Co. Matls from
Creston, 26557 with Co. Mdse going to Ottumwa storehouse, 19658 with car
heaters from Fairfield (was winter and a lot of heaters installed or
serviced @ Ottumwa), 63052 with co. matls, 36067 with lumber from Sutherland
Lbr of Ottumwa, 25593, a 40' wood box with hides from K.C. and one
Burlington trailer - BT8468 carried on a TTX & rsealed by Q Special Agt
Campbell.
Thus ends one book from Dec 1931 thru Dec. 1967. With a dozen blank pages
left, the agt apparently decided it was time to retire a 37 year old book
and begin anew.
Getting back to that New Haven box carrying bagged CB&Q sand - an extra
mystery as unlike other company matl's carried in Q revenue cars, the Q had
MoW box cars assigned to bagged sand service (and hoppers for bulk) so again
why a foreign road? In any case, its now proven to be prototypical to park
a NH box on a CB&Q loco servicing track!
