This is part of a series of posts of actual freight carloads interchanged to Frisco from Missouri Pacific at Kansas City. These carloads originated on western carriers and were interchanged to Mopac at Pueblo, Colorado. All data taken from Mopac train consists in August 1966. Freight car experts can chime in with details for the railcars. If anyone is interested in the specific industries, let me know and I will post further info. Car: DRGW 30134 Type: Gondola (65ft according to DRGW roster) Net Tons: 50 Contents: Steel Origin: Minnequa CO (Pueblo) Origin RR: Colorado & Wyoming RR Shipper: Colorado Fuel & Iron (CF&I Steel) Ship Date: Aug 9 1966 Dest: Tulsa OK Dest RR: SLSF Consignee: Patterson Steel Route: C&W-DRGW-Pueblo-MP-Kansas City-SLSF Departed Pueblo Aug 10 1966 on MP Train #74 Ted Ferkenhoff Flagstaff AZ
The consignee name is actually Patterson steel. We spotted several cars a day on their tracks. They had one that we spotted inside the building and another one that we spotted outside. This second spot was exclusively flat cars while the former was gondolas. Terry
Thanks Terry! I corrected the original post. I also attached a cropped section of the 1969 Industry Schematic for Tulsa Zone 4. Note it shows 3 spurs into the building, but there is only one number (463) next to the left two spurs. Interesting. Ted Ferkenhoff Flagstaff AZ
