Subject: [CBQ] Hoppers used in Sugar Beet Service
> Hi List,
> I'm trying to track down photographs I could base painting and
> weathering models of the following classes of CB&Q hopper cars for
> sugar beet service:
> 188000-189999 37'8" steel hoppers, 2078cu feet (does anyone make a
> reasonable HO model of these cars?)
> 190000-191749 " "
> 194000-194999 36'6" composite side hoppers, 1970 cu feet
>
> I noted several of these cars showing up on waybills loaded in the
> Pacific Northwest on Northern Pacific points with beets for movement
> to factories in Moses Lake and Toppenish, Washington. The "campaign"
> seemed to last from early September to early December.
>
> I know CB&Q had quite a campaign at several points of its own--
> wondering if anyone knows if NP cars were commonly used during
> periods the Burlington hauled beets. I suppose it would make sense,
> Hill Lines helping each other out during periods when some of their
> own cars were underutilitzed.
