I wondered about an exhibit car or similar, but the stencilling appeared to be 
very "smudged" and the bottom corner of the door is 
hardly exhibit quality.

It is possible that this an exhibition car for the Chicago Railroad Fair in 
1949. It has K brakes and arch bar trucks both of which 
were outlawed in interchange service by 1949.

Thanks for posting all these photos. I'm working my way through them but I have 
a query about file 82 - box car #4120 at Chicago in
1949, with a Havelock reweigh date of June 1945.

My first impression of the photo was that the road number was wrong, and then 
that the painting of the road name, number and
capacities was wrong, especially when compared to appearance of the Burlington 
herald. It looks as if they have been added later.

The only CB&Q box car series that this number could fit was 3-4169 built before 
1885 (when the equipment registers started), and
they were a maximum outside length of 33' 5½" and a maximum capacity of 40,000 
lb. The last one of this group - #1590 - left the
roster in 1914-5.

There were a number of double sheath box car classes still around in 1949 from 
XM-9 onwards, but the only class I can find that had
4120 as part of the number was XM-14 with #104120.
