[CBQ] Re: XM21 to XM23 boxcars

["Benjamin Scanlon" <benjaminscanlon@yahoo.com>]

hi

does anyone know what it was that gave XM22 boxcar 131406 in this photo a 'low 
slung appearance'? 

http://www.trainlife.com/magazines/pages/144/10395/february-1993-page-21

the caption looks as though it has a line missing.  it may be a useful detail 
to know when modelling.
