Looking thru the OER's it is indeed a puzzle - no footnote that it is 
specially equipped.  My only guess is that it was acquired as a 'sample' 
from one ot the commercial car builders OR coming onto roster in 1919, was 
assigned by USRA as part of a sampling or to replace a box car a car that 
USRA had appropriated for some reason and Q numbered it with the grouping 
that was most similar.  A real reach would be it coming from a RR the Q 
absorbed in 1919 or just before - only one that comes to mind is Tabor & 
Northern, a small Iowa RR that connected with the Q. Even if someone has a 
photo of it (a LONG shot) it would probably not explain what made it unique.
