Pat, 1) Wording problem on my part: Bagged sand shipped in boxcars. Loose sand shipped in gons. 2) I have a couple of NYC waybills from 1950 showing gons going from Wedron to Marion, Ind. to Marion Machine Fdry & Sup Co. One of them is in CM&O 89089 showing "C/L SILICA SAND NOT GROUND" and "<OPEN CAR CONTENTS COVERED WITH TAR PAPER>". I do not know the reasons or uses for this, but the waybill shows it happened. A booklet published by Ottawa Silica lists many uses for their sand including toothpaste. An MKT waybill shows sand going to Halliburton in Cushing, Ok. Eric Mumper
