Rupert:

Were the boards behind the PALACE STOCK lettering painted white or yellow?  Almost looks like one of each in the photo.  The C&S referred to its similar cars as "yellow board" stock cars.

This stock car was built in 1902 by AC&F (class SM-7 62000-62999), and they were all off the roster by 1928. I have a copy of a December 1914 instruction, provided by Archie Hayden, from the Superintendent of Motive Power, Lines East, to Master Mechanics and Shop Superintendents, to continue painting out “Palace Stock” on stock cars as “Some exceptions have been taken to this stenciling…….. “, possibly from Pullman.

CB&Q Palace Livestock Car 62508

A cropped photo from the History Nebraska website.

Taken at Lincoln, Nebraska, circa 1909.

Not unexpectedly, I didn’t find this car on my 1945 Equipment Register so it was gone by that year.
