The XM-25/26 cars were covered in a BRHS Data Sheet which identified the
last four cars as 15615, 16645, 16710 and 16728, noting that they were
quickly retired after the BN merger. When archbar trucks were banned from
interchange in 1938, the CB&Q's XM-25's received Andrews trucks whilst the
FW&D's received AAR-style Bettendorf designs (which were fitted as originals
on the XM-26's).
There is no indication about the specific use for these cars, although it is
noted that some of the class in the late 60's were using for hide loading,
but without the roof doors fitted to other classes. There is no indication
in the ORER's that this was the fate of these cars.
Sorry, I can't help with the ACI label question.

Subject: [CBQ] Details of XM-25/26 boxcars in early 1970s
> Hello everyone,

>
> 1. The XM-25/26 cars sported both Andrews and Bettendorf-style

> 2. Did these cars recieve ACI labels, and where on the car side were
