Re: [CBQ] Coil Steel Cars on the CB&Q

["Steven Holding" <sholding@sbcglobal.net>]

I was working on a index and catalogue of some of my "Stuff" and in the "Burlington Bulletin"  No. 37  Jan-Mar 1968  P. 9  Two photos of 52 ft. covered gons in service being loaded at Harvey Aluminum  Lewisport, Ky Plant  special cradles designed by Eng. Dept for various size rolls either single or double troughs  with DF bars to hold coils in place.  Shipments to Torrance, Calif.  (air craft building??)

Routing would be a guess as was on the L&N Main from Louisville to Evansville and St. Louis.  ??  being a Q car to St. Louis and then Galesburg, Denver DRGW to WP to ATSF and or PE for Torrance.

Good question
