Mont;



Are you modeling any of those cool coke (and other) container cars the Monon
had that we saw great photos of in MainLine Modeler?

Bill and all,

I'm sure Bill is referring to Citizens Coke and Gas Utility in Indianapolis.
It was shut down over a year ago and is being dismantled as we speak.

CC&G coke was a good source of car loadings for the Monon and NKP in our era.
They also shipped tar and molten sulfur, both by products of the coke making
process. I was surprised to learn that a lot of the traffic on the Monon went
to smaller mills and foundaries all over the midwest.

I had incorrectly assumed that the loads always went to the large mills in
the Calumet Region.
