The cars were built for ballast service and were indeed used in coal service during the fall-winter, primarily on Lines East, and also in sugar beet service on Lines West.

Subject: [CBQ] ACF-Rodgers-Hart 70 Ton Selective Service Car

 

I have a ACF-Rodgers-Hart 70 Ton Selective Service Car from W&R.  It is supposed to be a Q car 221000-221499.  It is an open hopper.  What service was this likely used in by the Q? 

 

Also, while we are on this point, I believe that it was said that the Hart HK-50-3 ballast cars would be found in coal service in the winter months, as ballasting would be curtailed due to the weather.  Do I have that correct?

Thanks,

Rich G.
