Re: [CBQ] 230000 series company service tank cars ?

["James Sandrin" <sandmantrains@gmail.com>]

The 130000 series cars were initially used for corn syrup and molasses in relation to servicing sugar beet factories in Nebraska, Colorado, Wyoming and Montana.  They were regulars in the consist of the "Buckwheat" local that ran north out of Denver.  In the early 1970s after the collapse of rail-oriented Sugar beet traffic, the BN transferred the cars to fuel and lubricating oil service.  Check out BB #32 for more details of the sugar beet operations.  The attached photos show both series under discussion in diesel fuel service at Hastings Nebraska in the early 1980s. Jim Sandrin
