Boy, does that photo make me feel old and bring back memories! I saw the first 
load of coal loaded into this class, at the Zeigler #3 mine, in July, 1963. The 
Christopher switch engine ( a single SD-7 motor) brought them in one cut of one 
hundred cars, in pure sequence order! They were loaded with 11/2 inch utility 
coal bound for a power plant in or near the Twin Cities. The switch engine took 
them in two fifty car cuts to the North Yard at Christopher. There four GP-20 
motors (very clean ones) hooked on for the road trip. These were very rare in 
the Coalfields as was the Class NE-12 waycar at the rear end. The company 
photographer was present to record the departure as were all of the local 
officials.

My son & I photographed it's 'twin' in East Dubuque Sat, Nov. 27!  Talk about 
coincidences!  (taking last of Kodachrome slides but will see if we can get a 
scan up later; part of a string of 5 BN related hoppers near where BN had a 
derailment Wed that closed the line briefly near East Cabin).

Just wanted to let everyone know I posted some shots of CBQ 160926. I found the 
car on the NIFA branch on the west side of Aurora yesterday. The BNSF has a 
string of gondolas and open hoppers down by Sullivan Rd, they are using them 
for the cleanup of garbage left by the MOW crews that worked the branch this 
summer. Nice to see something with CBQ reporting marks still out there. I 
thought it was one of 2 hoppers I caught last year but it turned out to be new 
to me. Does anyone know how many cars that still have CBQ reporting marks are 
left on the BNSF? There used to be a tank car that was in diesel service, I 
caught that one at Eola a few years back. Here's the link to the photos in the 
photo section.
