All are listed in the 1970 ORER under CB&Q as opposed to BREX
The AAR treated insulated boxcars as reefers - the designation explanation being
RBL - Refrigerator car similar to "RB" but equipped with adjustable loading or
stowing devices
RB - Beverage, ice, water or vinegar insulated refrigerator, similar to a
bunker refrigerator, but not equipped with ice bunkers

These are RBBQ cars, if that makes a difference. Also, it seems the cars have
an identity problem as I found them listed as reefers
when I went searching at rrpicturearchjives.net. But they are only lowly
insulated box cars.
