[CBQ] Re: Express baggage cars

[Q5632west@aol.com]

HI all:

1.  I have a shot of one of the ex-troop kitchen cars at Oregon, 
Illinois, in June 1970 freshly painted in MOW orange with black 
lettering but no CB&Q herald.  Car number is 250068.  The repainting 
would have happened right before or after the merger, which could 
explain the lack of herald.

2.  One of the cars converted to a power car was on the Verde Canyon 
Railroad in Clarkdale, Arizona, as its no. 110 when I visited there 
five years ago.  I've rooted a bit tonight and can't find my notes, but 
my recollection is that the car was last based in Wyoming and had been 
converted to a power car either by the CB&Q or BN.  The Arizona 
excursion service started in 1990, and I don't know if this car was 
part of the original rolling stock.

The Verde Canyon photos are in my Oregon, Ill., album on the CBQ Yahoo 
group site.
