I agree. I was surprised to learn that such a large portion of the car fleet was made up of boxcars as late as 1969. Also, if I understand correctly, was it possible that 8-9% of the entire company's inventory of 70-ton open hoppers could be found in a single ore train? Gives me a new perspective on those Riverbed-Brier Hill runs. Jeff Larson ELHS #2683 - -----Original Message----- Phil and Henry, Thank you for this list. It's a treasure trove of information.
