I work on the road for UP out of Proviso to Clinton,IA and see PC equipment,
usually gondolas all the time. Trains PRCL and CLPR consistently carry these
cars to Sterling,IL. Their destination is Northwestern Steel and Wire. The UP
has a small yard there, and a switcher goes on duty daily at 0800 to switch
out the scrap and finished products. PC gons in the 598000 series are very
common, all have had no CR markings. Altough these are usually pretty well
beat up and rusty,the logos are visible.Some of the cars even carry the pink
"C".Some have the large worm and others have the small logo.I have seen a PRR
gon with the keystone and PRR reporting marks as well. CLPR goes to work
around 1300 out of Clinton,IA and is all gons,usually making daylight
appearences over most of the road to Proviso,while PRCL is ordered at 1930 at
Proviso,with all the scrap cars. Also I still haven't received any
conformation on being added to the mailing list. rockisland1 -AT- msn.com Thank
