[CBQ] CB&Q Aluninum Hoppers

["Paul K." <kozys@comcast.net>]

Greetings!

Following is a link to Accurail models new products for January:

Scrolling down the page you will see they are offering a 55-Ton USRA ALUMINUM 
hopper car.  

My question is did the 'Q have any of these cars in the period just prior to 
the merger?  I'm familiar with the larger capacity 'silver sides' hoppers of 
that time but did they even make a 55T version in aluminum?  And more 
importantly to my modeling, if so did the CB&Q have any of them as this model 
suggests?

Thanks in advance for any info on these cars.
