Re: [CBQ] FW&D "TEXLAND"

There are a couple of photos of Texland in Burlington Bulletin 17, on pages 38 and 74.

If you haven’t got a copy, the short history of the car is that it was built in 1889 as 51, renumbered to 95 in 1904, sold to FW&D as car 919 in 1922, rebuilt at Childress in 1924 and named Texland. It was repurchased by the Burlington in 1943 and reverted to 95, converted to outfit car 251163 for one of the rail detector cars in 1958 (photo in Bulletin 17 page 39, Bulletin 39 pages 82-83) and dismantled by BN in about 1984, having been used as a bunk car.

First time I’ve seen a photo of this car.
