Car 120611 on page 17 of RPC has Carmer levers, not rotary. The caption
states that cars repainted after 1936 received Everywhere West, but it does
not state the photo date. The same photo was published in RMJ May 1998, p.
18 with a caption that the photo was from 1942, so which date is it?

The 1936 picture of 120611 showing rotary levers is contained in Vol16 of
Railway Prototype Cyclopedia.

Subject: [CBQ] Carmer Levers
I posed the question on when Carmer levers were discontinued in favor of
rotary levers on CB&Q USRA box cars on the STMFC list, but the question
wasn't answered adequately. The feedback was that they were replaced as cars
were shopped after the mid-1930s according to ICC Rule 3 recommendations.
The latest photo I have showing Carmer levers is CB&Q 120611 taken in 1942
right after the car was shopped at Havelock, but the Carmer levers were not
changed to rotary type at that time. I have no photographic evidence of
rotary lift levers on any CB&Q USRA DS car, so I don't know if any cars were
changed. Are there any pictures of rotary levers on Q USRA box cars between
during or before 1943-1949?
