Thanks for this explanation. Do you know if any "cars or other rolling
stock" were actually transferred? I found the Willmar & Sioux Falls in the
1904 ORER showing over 1000 freight cars and cabooses lettered GN / W&SF but
the company was no longer listed in the December 1908 issue.  Interestingly,
the CB&Q acquired two new groups of old box cars in 1908 - 17000-17184 and
17200-17242 that match, more or less, the W&SF 85436-85830 (even numbers,
198 cars) and 85832-85930 (even numbers 50 cars) shown in the 1904 ORER.
However, I can't account for any of the other freight cars and cabooses
listed. 

Does anyone have a 1907 or early 1908 ORER who could check the Willmar &
Sioux Falls listing, please?

The December 1, 1908, deed that deeded the Sioux City & Western to the CB&Q
specified that all "locomotives, cars, and other rolling stock and
equipment" be transferred to the CB&Q.
