Re: [CBQ] C&S Hoppers

Tim,

There was some. A couple of coal loads were destined for Dubuque Packing 
in Dubuque and other customers. See the attached.
Also it is summer in these consists, so the only coal loads would be for 
industrial and utility customers. Many large industries still had their 
own coal fired power plants then.
