In the 1968 MoPac Summary of Equipment (SoE), these cars are shown. There are 98 of them, shown as built 1953 with 1380 cuft capacity. Is this the right car series?
There are 15 still shown under that number series in the SoE of 1970, and 22 that are shown under the new number series of 602740-602826. In 1975 only one shows up, the 602755, and none in 1976.
In the 68 SoE I see a few cars from two other lowside gon series, listed as having been built in 1913. I gather the ’53 cars may have been built to replace these. Out of curiosity, do you know what service these cars would have been used in?
