[CBQ] Re:Double Drum heads on Observation Cars

[William Barber <clipperw@gmail.com>]

Keith,

You have received several responses to your question concerning lightweight 
streamlined equipment, but the double drum heads was not limited to those cars. 
Early in the 20th century, Q passenger trains with open platform observations 
cars also carried double drum heads on the rear railing with the train name on 
one side and Burlington Route on the other. Several publications have photos of 
such cars. Of course, the train names were different then.
