[CBQ] Re: CW-6,7 info wanted

["Jonathan Harris" <jonathanharris@earthlink.net>]

John -

Bill Glick's 'Passenger Car Roster' book has complete info on dates of 
construction and retirement of these cars. As a general statement, both classes 
were very diverse in origin (builders), and most cars were built circa the 
1880s-90s. 

Regarding their service, yes, they were used in mixed trains on branch lines. I 
believe some also were used as drovers' cabooses on cattle trains.
