[CBQ] Researching FW&D 5001-5025 Series Boxcars

["doswift" <doswift@yahoo.com>]

G'Day All,

I'm researching the FW&D 5001-5025 series boxcars built sometime during the mid 
1960's by, I believe, ACF.  Unfortunately, I don't have my CB&Q  Equipment 
Diagram book with me, but the cars are smooth-side 50'-6" boxcars with, I 
believe, an 8' sliding door and 6' auxiliary plug door. I recall coming across 
a small black and white photo of one of the cars in Modeling Railroading years 
ago, but have since misplaced the magazine. The purpose of the research is so 
that I can kitbash a reasonable model from an existing Front Range kit I have 
tucked away. What I'm looking for are online photos of the cars as they would 
have appeared in the late 1970's or early 1980's. I'm also looking photographic 
evidence if any of the cars received BN paint and BN numbers after the merger 
into the BN in 1980.

Regards,

Darrall Swift
Modeling the BN/MILW in North central Montana. Circa: Fall of 1979
