One of the "jeeps" was rebuilt into a steam generator car. It was numbered in
the 25000 series of company service cars. I don't have the exact number handy
right now. Does anyone have a photo of it? Was it painted in MOW orange,
silver, Pullman green or different colors over the years? How was it lettered?
Was it used in passenger service or was it just used as a portable steam
heating plant?

HI all:
1. I have a shot of one of the ex-troop kitchen cars at Oregon,
Illinois, in June 1970 freshly painted in MOW orange with black
lettering but no CB&Q herald. Car number is 250068. The repainting
would have happened right before or after the merger, which could
explain the lack of herald.
2. One of the cars converted to a power car was on the Verde Canyon
Railroad in Clarkdale, Arizona, as its no. 110 when I visited there
five years ago. I've rooted a bit tonight and can't find my notes, but
my recollection is that the car was last based in Wyoming and had been
converted to a power car either by the CB&Q or BN. The Arizona
excursion service started in 1990, and I don't know if this car was
part of the original rolling stock.
The Verde Canyon photos are in my Oregon, Ill., album on the CBQ Yahoo
group site.
