Re: [CBQ] Amarillo railroad Museum for sale: Fort Worth and Denver HC-1 covered hopper

["Jerry Michels" <gjmichels53@gmail.com>]

Tom, 

I don't have specific records of where they ran, but keep in mind they were not 
a large fleet; 26 cars. Twenty-four were on the roster in 1960. I suspect they 
mainly ran in Texas, but the photo InterMountain used for lettering the cars, 
clearly shows the car was reweighed in Gillette, WY.  That makes sense since 
the CB&Q ran there.

We'd sure love to find more prototype photos, or any information on theses 
cars.  We like doing FtW&D cars since that was the 'Q' down here. Photos of 
these cars in the Amarillo area would be gold. If anyone has an FtW&D cars 
they'd like to see done, let us know.  We do custom cars that are commercially 
available, but not done in a certain scheme.

Check out RPCyc 30, pages 97-103 for more information on these hoppers.
