[CBQ] Black 40 foot Steel Plug Door Box car

[William Canelos <sharronbillc@yahoo.com>]

I like to acquire CB&Q cars & locos for my garden railroad.  A company called 
USA Trains sells a 40 foot Steel plug door box car pained in black with all 
white lettering.  Here is a link to the Ebay photo.

It has the large billboard style "Burlington" on left of the door above the 
reporting marks, and the color box herald on the right, and the stylized Way of 
the Zephyrs on the right as well.  not sure if the Everywhere WEst is on the 
other side.

The question is did the Q ever really do this paint scheme and if so was there 
a special reason for it?

Thanks, Bill
