They were equipped gradually over the period 1953-57 and thereafter were so equipped.

Subject: [CBQ] HC-1A covered hoppers

 

In BB#20 Hol Wagner indicates that HC-1A hoppers #181046-181049 were equipped for flour loading 1953-57.

I'm looking for clarification on whether the equipping of these cars took place car by car over that four year span, or whether they were all so-equipped in 1953 and whatever modifications this involved were then all removed in 1957.

Reason for asking is that I know some (maybe all) of these cars served the General Mills plant in Keokuk, but since I'm modeling the early 1960s, I'd make plans to use some other cars if these four cars weren't being used for flour any more.
