[CBQ] Re: RPO #1938

Bryan,

It looks like a mate to the #1923 that is at the Illinois railway Museum and is fully restored. I didn't know that two of these cars survived. IRM has demonstrated simulated mail pick ups and drop offs with the 1923 occasionally during each year. For comparison, here is a link to the details and a photo of the 1923 at IRM.

I was out on Fremont, NE in May and took a ride on the Fremont & Elkhorn Valley RR.  One of the cars in their collection is an ex-CB&Q RPO, #1938.  It would be nice if the car was restored to its Q appearance and is currently unlettered.  Here is a photo of the car at the end of the line in Fremont.
