[CBQ] Box car 4120

Rupert and all:
The 4120 was a Fort Worth & Denver boxcar restenciled CB&Q for use at
the Chicago Railroad Fair since it had an older appearance than any
available Q boxcars at the time.

     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.
