You can stretch that out to the early 1980s, at least in central Washington state. BN was still handling grain in 40-foot boxcars off the Mansfield branch right up until the line was abandoned in 1985. The branch was laid with 68 lb. rail and could not accommodate anything bigger than 40-foot boxcars (most still lettered for GN and CB&Q) and Geeps. : msw largofl On Mon, Mar 6, 2017 at 9:47 PM, Jpslhedgpeth@aol.com [CBQ] <CBQ@yahoogroups.com> wrote:
