ON the DRGW group Lou_DiGrazia posted (message 65250) a link to some 70's 
pictures:

If you go to the "Home" tab at the end of the DRGW pics you can see the 
railroads they have pictures of, I choose BN and there was a picture entitled 
"CBQyard3 Denver76A"  In the foreground some me are working on a 70 Ton Offset 
Hopper which appears to have sugar beet as a load. I enlarged the picture as 
much as possible and it looks like a Bessemer and Lake Eric car.  Although it 
is the BN era, did CS or CBQ rent cars of this nature for the sugar beet rush?  
IF so this would open many modeling possibilities for those modeling the C&S.
