[CBQ] Grain Haulage

["qutlx1@aol.com [CBQ]" <CBQ@yahoogroups.com>]

Steve mentioned the box car at Congress Park leaking from the grain doors and 
car doors.
I'll add that the cars,both wood and steel leaked from all manner of spots 
along the car bodies.
Fork lifts were often used to open/close box car doors at industrial companies. 
From time to time a fork would slice into a car side while pushing the door.

Way Cars tool lockers were liberals supplied with rags. Train crews often stuck 
these into the gaps in grain loaded box cars that were leaking.

Probably something you've never seen on a model RR !
