...they seem to have operated from 1969 onward, and are still out there.
How many and what operators where running them in '69 was my question. I had heard they were a late 60s design but thought the only cars running in 1969 were demonstrators. Which makes me wonder, the build date is not necessarily indicative of lease timing. I'm wondering if the 8/69 build date on the Ideal Cement car means the paint scheme fits 1969; or Ideal could have leased these in the 70s, making them 'unusable' in my era.
Anyone have a 1969 ORER to look into this? I only have 1968.
