Rich,

What is the history of the car? Was it built from something else? Window placement seems to resemble a 4500 series heavyweight chair car. I am not at home so I can't check Bill Glick's books. Were any other similar cars built. I wonder why they didn't build it in the same manor as the rebuilt silver painted 6100 series coaches with the rounded roofs? Maybe it was the less attractive prototype for those cars.

Here is a neat shot of the Q's 4600. A semi-streamlined car built for use on the North Coast Limited as the Q's contribution before the NCL was streamlined in 1947. This shows it after it received the ribbon-style lettering that replaced the Q's Railroad Roman lettering. Though, semi-streamlined, it is pretty ungainly looking!
