[CBQ] Fw: [STMFC] CB&Q 48 foot composite mill gons

["Rupert & Maureen" <gamlenz@ihug.co.nz>]

There was a query on the Steam Era Freight Car List about gondolas GM-1 and 
GM-2 195000-196499 built by Western Steel and Galesburg 
in 1925 and 1927, seeking an in-service photo, paint scheme and details of any 
particular customer or service.

The only photo I've found is in Zephyr #55 page 22 of a GM-2 but it was taken 
after the sides had been rebuilt with box car ends.  I 
presume that these cars would have been painted mineral red with white 
lettering, with a Burlington Route herald possibly at the 
centre of the sides.

Can anyone provide any photo locations or other information?  Please include 
Claus in your reply.
