Reply to "Any Steam Era Grand Trunk Western Cabooses in O Scale?"

Agreeing with John23, I don't recall seeing any solid coal trains. There were blocks of coal hoppers coming from Illinois and going to the coaling stations at Battle Creek, Lansing, Durand, Milwaukee Jct. and points in Ontario for company use. However, there were solid gravel trains coming out of Oxford. The 4070 along with sisters 4076 and 4078 were used on those runs fairly frequently.

Of interest, the mikes (3700s and 4000s) were also used on the commuter runs (Detroit-Pontiac). They had the capability of quickly accelerating the 5-7 heavy-weight coaches over the five station stops on a 50-minute schedule.
