Saint Paul, Nov. 16, 1933

Mr. Bernard Blum:

Referring to your letter of Nov. 13 in regard to ………coaling stations for handling 70 ton capacity cars:

The following coaling stations west of Missoula are good for 70 ton coal cars:

Paradise                                   Lind

Trout Creek                             Toppenish

Hauser                                     Yakima (New Terminals)

Parkwater                                Easton

Seattle

The Link Belt type coaling station at Missoula is good for the 70 ton coal car if the stringers are in good condition.

The following stations have not been reinforced for the 70 ton car as far as our records show:

Kootenai                                   Ellensburg

Pasco                                        Lester

Gibbon                                     Auburn

Yakima (Main Line)                   Centralia

Tacoma
