507 went to Bay Creek Railroad, Cape Charles, VA - there's a photo at

http://www.northeast.railfan.net/self_prop3.html

There is a spreadsheet on the BRHS website showing all the CB&Q motor cars from 
McGuire-Cummings #501 of April 1922 onwards, and 
showing their alleged disposition (and I think I put it in the Files section of 
this List as well.)  Let me know if you can't find 
it and I'll send you a copy.

Whilst the Burlington had one of the biggest fleets of gas-electrics in North 
America, it was a late starter in the self-propelled 
passenger car area - other railroads had been using them since the turn of the 
century both in America and Europe. I therefore 
wondered if perhaps the Burlington had experimented with them earlier than 1922.

I know little about American automobiles but when did they expand from 4/5 
seater cars into something big enough for branchline 
passenger and mail service.
