[CBQ] Re: Silver heavyweight baggage cars

[Norm Metcalf <n.metcalf@att.net>]

From:   HOL WAGNER

Charlie is right. The question was, "Where there any heavyweight baggage
cars painted silver without being
modified to look like streamliners?" And the answer is a straightforward
NO. There were two heavyweight baggage-RPO cars painted silver (and
originally shadow-lined) for Kansas City Zephyr service, but no
heavyweight baggage cars. The two were 1941 and 1944.

     CB&Q 993 is not a Heavyweight Car... it is a Lightweight "Economy"
     Baggage Car constructed at Havelock.
     I am not prepared to state that there weren't any Silver-painted
     Heavyweight Baggage Cars; I just can't recall any at this moment.

     CBQ 993 is currently under restoration in silver at IRM as well.
