I just picked up a couple of Tangent's new double door 40' NP box cars (one plug, one sliding). These cars, mostly loaded with lumber, were very common on Q trains heading east from Mpls/StP. If you

Tom, My theory on this would be that since the GN and NP owned the Q, the per diem was just moving their money from one pocket to another through the dividends. It seems that the GN made the Q do thi

From what I've read and seen, the GN and NP liked to spread their eastward traffic around from the Twin Cities. It was pretty evenly split among the railroads for the eastern haul. It wasn't until th

Do dispatchers sheets, wheel reports, etc exist for these extra north trains ? I ask because Im wondering if it wasnt so much an accumulation of empty boxcars at Cicero(where extra tracks were scarce

Leo, There might be dispatcher sheets (maybe in the archives yet to be cataloged), but wheel reports for northbound extras on the C&I have never surfaced. I have one or two eastbound extra wheel repo

Since Tom's question was circa 1968, I was just looking at the last pages in the CB&Q 1968 Freight Equipment Distribution Manual that the BRHS Archives recently issued. Under Special Car Orders issue

If these empties were blocked for NP and GN before they were sent to the Twin Cities, this probably saved a great deal of switching time there. On the NP large blocks of lumber and plywood-suitable e

Also as far as return WB loads in the 40ft combination door NP boxcars, in a large collection of 1969 wheel reports that was a rarity, at least west of St. Paul. In the late 1960s these cars were hus

Bill: One reason CBQ might collect the empties for WB might be related to that fact a lot of these wood products shipments went east as roller loads-that is they were routed initially consigned to th

Chris, It is always to great to see this information! Thank you. The cars getting hung in the east was a constant topic of railroad's Burlington Bulletins especially when Harry Murphy was president.

Great personal perspective on roller loads, Pete -- informative and fun to hear about. As to costs, I think we have to bear in mind that storing lumber on site in Washington, Oregon, Idaho or Montana
