Kevin/Rick,
Could not make positive statement as to cars series used in this
service at the time as I had never noticed this movement. That
has changed.
BN 01-155-16 Dept Coon Creek MN 2117, 16-Jun-76 with:
838-781-6009-6825..41-130-7113-8860'..10123
In this train are CB&Q 83554 & 83583 containing Metal Products
for Erie Mining at Hoyt Lakes MN. These cars were both in the
83500-83599 series of covered gons built at Havelock in 1968
on AFE 52709. The roofs on this series were purchased from
Youngstown Steel Door and are on their drawing 67-34314. Do
not have access to this drawing but will keep it in mind.

Kevin, I am forwarding your email to the CB&Q list to see if anyone knows
the series numbers.
