[CBQ] Covered Hopper Use and Grain Trains Question

["Rick Keil" <rkeil6721@hotmail.com>]

I noticed in various publications for the Q, there were few mainline trains with solid consists of grain covered hoppers.  Was it normal for the covered hoppers assigned to grain service to be mixed into regular manifest trains?  Would they create "unit" trains for export grain to the Gulf?

What classes would be used for dry bulk fertilizer?  HC-1, 2 bays, HC-2 PS-2 2893 Cu Ft cars, especially the 15 with 100T trucks?  What about the larger PS and ACF cars?

Thanks
