CSX801, not sure if AAScaleRunner saw your post as those two hoppers are in his video leaving Cadillac. One of the car reporting marks are HEQX 1218 and the other is HMJX 20104 if someone can trace them. Not sure when they came in , must have been a day AAScalerunner wasn't able to see incoming train.

The cars are sitting at Ann Pere way-billed to Tarrant AL 6500 people, home of ...... ABC Coke. The cars are owned by FURX - First Union and leased by Danella Construction Corp.
The coke transload in Cadillac used to also get coke from Towanda, NY. I don't know if they still do or not.

Good thing that they are doing track work. This is definitely needed on the TC branch.
EDIT: Where is Summit City siding?

As for the two open top coal cars last week, they were loaded with coke fines from the unloading of the coke cars. once or twice a year they load the fines and ship them to a place that makes bercetes that look like charcoal and there shipped back and unloaded and shipped to the foundry.
