Re: [CBQ] CB&Q "Bulington" Business car on the end of a Northern Pacific train??

[Kenneth Martin <kmartin537@surewest.net>]

If you are refering to number 48 this is not the "BURLINGTON" but checking 
Glicks Business car book this is Car 2nd number 100. It was built in 1913 as a 
private car, bought by the Q in 1931, sold by BN in 1971.

Office cars carried officials to places they needed to go. Apparantly some 
official had to go somewhere on the NP so the car was hooked to the NP train.
