Tom, The attached consist is from July 3, 1965. You will see ore cars
moving to Cadet MO. That was the junction on the MP mainline to
their branch to the new Pea Ridge Ore Mine located on the MP south
of St. Louis. The MP built a new branch to service the mine. This
was a deep ore mine and the ore quality was very high. The MP
society did a bulletin on operations there. Of course the question is why was ore moving to an ore mine? The
answer I gathered from some old head MP employees was that these
ore moves were used to calibrate the machinery at the new mine
that determined the richness of the ore that was being shipped
out. Note all of the ore shipped in was in gondolas. Most of the
ore that moved out this mine was shipped to Bethlehem Steel. Bill Hirt On 5/29/2021 3:32 PM, Tom Mack via
