Jerry,
This shot is of the 209 while it was being used as a temporary depot in
Bevier, MO.
This car is a Pullman-built Solarium Lounge car, classed DL-3 on the Q.
Built in late 1927 or early 1928 (conflicting data in different sources),
the 209 was dismantled at Eola 12-20-1963.
There were four other Burlington cars identical to the 209;
210 - St. Paul Club - to MOW service as 250041 9/1/65
215 - Omaha Club - now in the museum in Council Bluffs, IA
216 - Lincoln Club - Dismantled at Eola 7/23/65
Minneapolis - Converted to coach #4800 12/19/42
Photos of these cars may be found in various sources, but the best and most
comprehensive are in Bill Glick's "Burlington Passenger Car Photo Album."

Found this shot of the jewel apparently being used either as a depot or yard
office. Can anyone tell me more about the car?

I hate getting old... Over the years I have learned a lot of things, but I
just can't remember much of it anymore.
