There was a large Ford plant in St.Paul, but it was served by the Milwaukee. That doesn't mean Q boxcars didn't come into the plant.

Does anyone know what routes the longer 60' and 86' auto parts box cars might have traveled on the Q? 

I cannot recall seeing photos of any of these long boxcars running between Chicago and Mpls/StP. It got me to wondering if there were any auto plants along the line or at either end that would be serviced by these longer cars. That might account for not seeing any photos or references.

Has anyone ever researched this or does anyone recall photos of these long box cars running on the C&I in the late 1960's?
