X – Hart Convertible Car Series 85500 to 86199 cannot be used on these docks.

Office of Bridge Engineer,

Saint Paul, June 17, 1938

(A)     The dock at Pullman is actually listed as Pullman Jct. on the original NP document, however after a conversation with Phil Beach, I have listed it as Pullman above. As Phil noted, geographically, the dock was located in the town of Pullman.

(B)     These two places were blank on the original report above is transcribed from. Other lists show the Butte station was built to Std. Plan S-36-28 in Sept. 1889 and held 1840 tons of coal. These same records show the Carlton coal station to be a two pocket Standard, single tier Coaler built Jan. 1904 holding 250 tons. The Carlton station lasted until a Red Devil coaler replaced it.

(C)     Records are blank concerning Wallace on the original report above is transcribed from. Data conflicts with other lists therefore these two places are intentionally left blank.
