interesting N&W hopper classes that made it to late 1967 - early 1968

[NW Modeling List]

Ben S.,
I would suggest you acquire a copy of N&W Coal Cars by Dow.  In it, on
pages 216-7, he shows that hopper all classes HU/3 and following made it
into 1968 with the exceptions of HV and HA/5.  Some of these, I am certain,
only survived in MoW service would not be interchanged.  In the chapters on
specific car classes Dow gives more information of numbers of cars in
service in particular years.  For example, one H3 was in service until
1969, plenty of rebuild character there.
