Re: [CBQ] routing question for silica sand hoppers

Hi Eric,

Ottawa Silica's "Flintshot" grade was shipped to a large number of metal working businesses for sand blasting or tumbling.

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.
