The article in Prototype Modeler does not have the drop end. The Athearn car
fits in the C&S 21000-21019 series that does have drop ends, at least they are
listed in the 1952 Equipment Register.(20 cars). John

Subject: RE: [CBQ] C&S Mill Gons, Athearn
The photo you have probably is from an old Model Railroading, from when the
current editor of RMJ was editing MRG. The Jan/Feb 1989 Prototpe Modeler has a
Stephen Heath article on a kitbash approximating the 21050-21069 series, 1965
Ortner-built 65-foot mill gons (19 ribs/20 panels). It has a photo of 21067 in
waht is described as the as-delivered paint scheme of Chinese red with
billboard "Burlington" lettering. The Athearn car isn't a dead-on match, but
it's similar enough that most people wouldn't know the differences.
