Here is a compilation of the few notes that I collected on this subject -

 

The CB&Q's "Boeing" cars were numbered 91900-91901, built by Thrall Maxson in 
1968, and 91902-91904 built by the same company in 1969.  A noticeable feature 
was the very flat decks.  I understand that they were assigned to Boeing and 
that the first two had canopies.  I also have a note that they were assigned to 
Long Beach (which I managed to confuse with Long Island!)  Their new BN numbers 
may have been 630294-630298 but that is not certain. (see below)

 

In the Freight Car Journal #68 from 1995, there was an article by James Kinkaid 
article "Aircraft Parts Cars: A Look at the Boeing Fleet".   Would anyone have 
a copy of this who can advise what coverage there was of CB&Q flats? 

 

A book entitled (possibly) "Planes on Trains" was published in several volumes 
and may have something of relevance 

 

I believe that Andrew Klamka is an expert on this topic but I was unsuccessful 
if contacting him.

 

One of my correspondents replied advised that, according to the BN Diagram 
Book, 91901-91904, built 1969, were renumbered to BN 630295-630298.  They had 
Boeing hoods on the decks in the diagram, but he had a photo of BN 630295 and 
on the sill was CB&Q 94295 (That was an FM-3C - RG). It was definitely not a 
Boeing flat.



Not much, I'm afraid.
