I never thought about hauling cocoa beans, but they'd have to get there some way, wouldn't they?  Probably easier than processing the beans at the farm, then shipping the powdered cocoa.

Hi guys,

Many thanks to all that responded with input; I now have the information I need to further fine tune my freight car assignments.

I believe that NS carried bulk cement in roof-hatch box cars, as well.
Thanks much,
