Walthers Difco Dump Car Question

Are the Walthers difco cars in revenue service, or are they strictly MOW service? Thanks for any info.


Hmm... Kiz, from now on,
I'm revenue service only.
Pay me!...



Two scientists create a teleportation ray, and they try it out on a cricket. They put the cricket on one of the two teleportation pads in the room, and they turn the ray on.
The cricket jumps across the room onto the other pad.
"It works! It works!"

Some were used in revenue service. The Milwaukee Road for example would use them from time to time. Maybe because they didn't have enough money for maintenance! A good rule of thumb is whether they were numbered for interchange or if they had an X or MOW designation in the reporting marks.

Best wishes, Dave

If you lend someone $20, and never see that person again, it was probably worth it.
