Here is the info straight from the Burlington Bulletin #7, publication of the Burlington Route Historical Society. Check the society's web site for ordering information:

http://www.burlingtonroute.com

To commemorate winning the Railway Progress Institute's Golden Freight Car award for 1966, the Burlington painted one day's output (eight cars) of overhauled XM-32 box cars gold with black lettering in December 1966 at the Burlington's freight car shop in Havelock, Nebraska.

The award was for the most effective promotion of railroad freight traffic in America.

Regards & Everywhere West,

Burlington John

She was a beautiful machine and the gold color was really nice.  What I am wondering is whether or not any cars were painted to match?  What has peaked my curiosity about this is a shot I recently ran across of CB&Q Lancaster Club, in what appears to be gold paint...
