outside and inside of SW-1200 #41.

At the time the above table was compiled, the C&I has 956 cars in service. Series 160-199, 400-599 and 1600-1999, which account for 548 of the total, had been rebuilt at least fifteen years ago and had seen the best of their days. Most of them were still in interchange service but were slowly being pulled from service and at that time were up for sale if a good offer should come along. The above table came from George Warholic's Blacklick Township site.
