Dear Matthew:
Here is some information on our car fleet. Some of it is from a 2004 Railway Equipment Register and the rest is from my memory so it may not be totally correct.
ELS 101xxx series cars 284 total, numbers run from 101600-101632, 101634-101749, 101751-101815, 101817-101847, 101849-101864, 101866-101899.
ELS 50xx series rack flats 36 total, numbers 5000-5035.
ELS 51xx series flats 14 total numbers 5100-5113.
ELS 52xx series flats 15 total numbers 5200-5214.
ELS 80xx series gondolas 4 total numbers? 8004,8007, 8009, 8012.
ELS 110xx series boxes total 2 numbers 11000,11001
ELS 50xxx series boxcars not sure of total, used to be 95 most returned to lessor, I think we probably still have 25. Numbers vary.
ELS 617xx series flats, total 11, numbers 61704, 61711, 61716, 61726, 61729, 61732-61734, 61741, 61748-61749.
ELS 201750 high cube box.
ELS 97924 flat.
The KWT boxes are from the KWT Railway of Paris, TN. We only have a few of them, I can recall numbers like 4501, 4510. The MSDR boxes are from Knoxville and Holston River Railroad of Knoxville, TN. We must have 150 of them. The numbers are in the 195150 to 195299 range. The KWTs and MSDRs are leased cars from GE. The only boxcars that are currently in service are the KWTs, MSDRs, and the ELS 50xxx, the rest are stored. The pulpwood flats and gons without racks are restricted to service on the ELS as the CN will not accept them in interchange.
We also have some flats for work train service and ELS 30xx series and DMIR 54xx series ore cars used in ballast service.
