Here's the poop on the Branchline 14 section cars being done for Q
New Lincoln - built for 1929 Ak-Sar-Ben; Plan 3958A; renamed AMERICAN LEGION
7/41; Leased to Pullman 12/48 by CB&Q; Q#630 - later numbered 600; withdrawn
from lease12/58; sold for scrap. (mechanical AC 32 volts)
New Omaha - built for 1929 Ak-Sar-Ben; plan 3958A; Leased to Pullman 12/48
by CB&Q; Q#633 - later numbered 603; withdrawn from lease 9/64; sold for
scrap. (mechanical AC 32 volts)
New Capitol - built for 1929 Ak-Sar-Ben; Plan 3958A; Leased to Pullman 12/48
by CB&Q; Q#631 - later numbered 601; withdrawn from lease 2/67; sold for
scrap. (mechanical AC 32 volts
[New Farnam was the fourth car in this series also owned by Q #632 #602 WFL
2/59, sfs]
They should have standard Pullman lettering and Pullman Green. Q numbers
were not applied until the cars were withdrawn from lease. ( I have not seen
any pictures of these cars with Q numbers while still in Pullman service -
the Q numbers may have been only an accounting number and only shown on the
books) At the time they were relettered the "Pullman" was painted out and
the cars were then numbered and CB&Q initials were painted in the center of
the car below the windows. I have not seen any photos of ribbon lettering on
these cars. I think they were held for only a short period of time as
"company cars" emergency sleepers before being scrapped (did not go to work
train use).
Information from the Wayner Publication "The Complete Roster of Heavyweight
Pullman Cars" and "The Pullman Company List of Standard and Tourist Cars"
dated 11/15/1950.
Hope this ino helps. I have mine reserved already.
