Steven,

That has to be a mistake.  In Randall's later book - "The Passenger Car Library 
- Volume 1 - CB&Q" he shows that 4712 - Silver Crown  - was part of a 6 car 
order for 52 seat coaches.  They we delivered in June of 1940, and the diagram 
does not show any Jim Crow facilities.  I think the C&S may have had a Jim Crow 
section in a streamlined car (Sam Houston Zephyr?), but I'm not sure.  My brain 
doesn't stray too far from the Illinois border...  ;-)

I was looking at the plans for chair car 4712, Silver Crown, in a book of 
Burlington Passenger Car Diagrams published in the mid 80's by Railway 
Production Classics (David Randall's firm).  The plans for this 1940 Budd car 
show a partitioned Jim Crow section on its vestibule end with "Negro" men's and 
women's restrooms.  This is the first time I have noticed this oddity.
 
Why in the world would the Burlington need a Jim Crow car?  I don't think any 
of the states it served had Jim Crow laws.  The General Pershing Zephyr cars, 
which served Missouri, did not have Jim Crow sections.
