  The C&S USRA 55-ton hoppers remained almost exclusively on the C&S and 
FW&D, but C&S steel drop-bottom gons were pooled with the Q fleet of 
mainly composite drop-bottom gons and were common sights on Lines East.

I'd like to know if the C&S fleet of coal hoppers generally stayed 
online or whether they may have been considered part of the general 
fleet of coal cars on the CB&Q. I've been thinking that some of their 55 
ton USRA cars would look good mixed with the "Q" 3 bays and composite 
gons and hoppers.

My thoughts are that they were kept on their own C&S lines and weren't 
used throughout the CB&Q system. I don't think the Bulletin on the coal 
fields mentions these cars as part of the equipment used. Thanks!
