Does anyone know of a railroad that had its own equipment, and that was taken 
over, assimilated, or otherwise merged into the Burlington in about 1915-1916?

I'm trying to identify where box cars 145000-145020 suddenly appeared from in 
1916 - they were gone by 1920. They were only 35' 6" inside length (and I know 
of no Burlington box cars of that length) which indicates that they were built 
prior to about 1902 when 40' became the norm, and the date of their 
disappearance suggests that they were possibly built around 1890. 

However, they were 8' 7" wide with an 8' interior height, dimensions that 
matched the ARA recommended dimensions issued in about 1902. A possibility is 
ex-furniture cars based on these latter dimensions, but they would have been 
40' cars, even if built in about 1890, and the Burlington's furniture cars were 
not that size. I also doubt that the Burlington would bought these cars so a 
transfer from a subsidiary company (or a new acquisition) seems the most 
likely. Any suggestions?
