Album Info: Located on the GW just north of Greeley, the Colorado Bean Company has 5 former BN and CBQ/BREX boxcars. They seem to be permanently sidelined and are used for on site storage. Incidentally, it seems that the GW line going east past the COB plant is unused at present; that line connects to the UP at the north end of Greeley.
