Ken is right.  The exact same cars were released with different numbers and 
without the beet service lettering several years ago, alas, I was only able to 
grab one.

When the "beet service" lettered 6 packs came out, I picked them up and 
stripped the beet service lettering faster than you can say 'lines east'.

They now are in coal service!

Regards from Palmyra, Missouri!

  Walthers released these cars a couple years ago without the beet
  lettering. I think they are just trying to sell more of them. Me I would
  strip the "beet loading" off and put in coal. 8^)
