Chicago Burlington & Quincy Railroad Class HT-11 160069 at Galesburg, Illinois on June 11, 1983, Kodachrome by Chuck Zeiler. According to the book, CB&Q Color Guide To Freight And Passenger Equipment, by Michael J. Spoor, beginning in 1963 the CB&Q began acquiring 100-ton quad hoppers from Bethlehem Steel Corporation, with the roster eventually totaling 1,570 cars. The first order was for 200 cars which were numbered 160000 - 160199 and were designated Class HT-11. The 1963 cars had sides that were 7" shorter than all subsequent cars, resulting in the HT-11s having a capacity of 3,209 cu. ft. All were painted black, bore white Gothic lettering, and sported full-color Scotchlite heralds. |
