Did Dundee have any terminals further west or were any of these cars assigned to Ash Grove in Nebraska?
Thanks,
Ricky Keil

They were used in cement service. Most were initially assigned to Dundee Cement at Roblee(?) MO just south of Louisiana, MO. Dundee had several terminals in the Midwest and IIRC one was at Carol Stream IL on the CGW. The routing was CBQ-East
Dubuque-CGW. The loaded cars would move via Quincy/Galesburg/Savanna up to E Dubuque where they were set out for the eastbound move via CGW. Mtys moved reverse. Dundee was owned by a Swiss firm and their first plant in the US was at Dundee MI on the Ann
Arbor RR. IIRC the balance of the cars were assigned to Marquette Cement at LaSalle/Peru.

Dave's sale got me to wondering... Where were the Q Whalebelly covered hoppers used? I thought they were primarily cement service cars. My big question is if they were primarily assigned to a certain area/service or were they free runners? In either case, would
they have shown up on the line from Chicago to Mpls/StP in the late 60's?
