With all my wheel reports there are virtually no 60' box cars showing as interchanging to the Q in Mpls/StP from GN or NP, and nothing in the few Q wheel reports I have seen. In August 2020 there was a discussion on Q 86ft auto parts cars and Fred Crissey did an excellent job on explaining why these weren't seen on the C&I. Rereading that thread I understand that most of the aftermarket auto parts were shipped in 50' cars. But I'm still somewhat surprised that no 60' box cars have appeared so far carrying perhaps another commodities, save for some GN 139000-series 60' box cars (two carrying zonolite and one carrying "ore"), and an SSW Class B-100-1 double-door 60' boxcar with one plug door and one sliding door that I don't think has ever been done in HO. Does this seem unusual, or were 60' cars pretty much just in the auto parts business in the late 1960's and therefor were not routed on the CB&Q between Chicago and Mpls/StP, like the non-existent 86' box cars?
