Coors on the Joint Line?

Trains Magazine General Discussion

Hi All,

Had a bid in Castle Rock today. On the way back, while driving on US85 (which conveniently parallels the joint line) I noticed a manifest that had some of the CORX glass lined tanks in it. Now from what I know, these usually head east to Kentucky if I remember correctly. Any ideas if they are headed ther by a different route, or what other destination they might be headed for? Thanks in advance!

Fairly common site at La Junta heading east [Newton-KC to NS) to the Shenandoa (SP?) VA brewery. The Knoxville brewery closed somewhere after the Molson-Coors merger.

What you don’t see is all the wort, yeast and other brewery waste from A-B Ft. Collins heading to Julian, KS (CVRR, Between Johnson & Ulysses)) via Dodge City by tankcar to become cattle feed. This is in addition to the stuff spread in the fields at NutriTurf near the brewery.

I haven’t seen those CORX cars for a long time. Looking forward to that, as well as the other things you described, MC!

Thanks, MC.
