There were also vents below.
   
  At the time the trains were retired, I believe the "bowls" were still there.

Those 'inverted bowls' are covering the vents, later left exposed. I suppose 
that at the 
time of their construction, CB&Q and EGB believed that was needed. (possibly to

boarding the 
DZ in Chicago in the early 50's and have wondered about them ever since for 
more than 
50 years. They were not on the all room sleepers added to the DZ in 1939.
