The C&S used drop-bottom GS gondolas (16500-17499) and USRA 55-ton twin hoppers
(18000-18299). C&S generally did not use classes. Accurail makes a USRA
hopper lettered for the C&S (actually two versions, but the one with the
circular C&S herald is too early for you), and Intermountain did a special run
of Tichy USRA hoppers with C&S lettering. Nobody makes anything close to the
GS gons.
In the Denver Public Library digital image collection, the photo with call
number CHS.X5563 shows a variety of C&S and CB&Q cars at the steel mill, but it
is earlier than your period. It includes a C&S Ingoldsby ore car, which were
long gone by 1951.
If I find a good on-line photo later I'll post the cite.

Subject: [CBQ] Sunrise Ore Shipments
Greetings All,
Both the C&S and the CB&Q shipped haematite (an iron ore) from the Sunrise Mine
in Wyoming to the Minnequa Steel works south of Pueblo, Colorado.
What type(s) of cars was the ore shipped in? Ie which class/ series?
My modelling (in HO) period is 1951.
Can any one, please, direct me to some close up photos of these cars?
Kindest regards,
Mark Sellars
