Skip and Steve,

Thank you for the definitive response to my question. That pretty well indicates why there were only two such conversions. In summary,  there apparently were three FW&D way cars numbered 73, the original from 1925 to 1961, the former Q 13807 from 1961 to 1968, and the former troop kitchen car / baggage express car no. 109 converted to a way car from 1968 on into the BN merger of 1970.

Unlike the Q, the FW&D only owned two ex-WW II Army kitchen cars which had been 
purchased for express service. Both had became surplus after the TEXAS ZEPHYR 
was discontinued on Sept. 11, 1967 and both were converted in waycars circa 
1968 at the Childress Shops. I suspect that the Childress Shops used their 
newly delivered 151 class as patterns so its my guess that the two home builts 
came shortly after the 151-162 class arrived. 

I'm not sure why the numbers that they received were chosen. All I can figure 
is that FW&D book-keepers were attempting to reuse old numbers as to not show a 
piece of new equipment being added to the roster. That being said, it is 
extremely odd that the two did not receive consecutive road numbers.

I'm not sure how much of the cars were actually used. It looks like the frame 
and sides and possibly some of the roof. The FW&D would have had to fabricate 
ends and cupolas. You can clearly see where the large side doors were 
plugged during the conversion.
