Ooops...forgot about this.
build date is 12-68...at bit too late. As well, after consulting my CB&Q
guide, there are no *listed* 40" inside braced boxcars with plug doors (and yes
the UP version is the same). There is a very similar Pullman 40" boxcar, but
it has sliding doors. Maybe someone on the list can verify any other
ones/varations...
Cheers!

If you'd let me know the build date (or car numbers, I have a 1965
Official Railway Equipment Register to cross-reference), I would
appreciate it.
Are the Athearn cars close to something the CB&Q actually had? I
believe that the Athearn #2090 (40' Grain Box Car) is based on the UP
class BF-50-3 prototype.
