Nelson,

The Q did not re-letter Pullman sleepers to "Burlington" on the letterboard as 
long as the cars were in Pullman lease.  The Walthers sleepers are incorrect.  
When cars were withdrawn from Pullman lease, they typically painted out the 
Pullman letterboard and left it blank.  They also tended to paint out the car 
name and letter it CB&Q, with a car number.  Again exceptions exist.  I have 
not seen a photo of a Q Pullman sleeper with Burlington on the letterboard.  
Lounges, diners, and observations - yes. Sleepers, no.  Many sleepers stayed in 
Pullman lease into the 1960's.

Did the Q retain Pullman car names when they relettered heavyweights from
Pullman to Burlington? The books I have access to list both car names and
car numbers, but were both names and numbers used on sleepers in the late
1940s and early 1950s?
