In 1968, the Burlington leased 600 40ft. box cars of various origins (which may have included CB&Q) from Chicago Freight Car Leasing and numbered them 43600-44199.  They made it through to BN. There were two or three other box car leases but they were in 1961-1966.

Subject: [CBQ] Q Boxcar Question

 

I was recently researching some C&O box cars and it mentioned that in 1969 some former Q  40' box cars were leased from Chicago Freight Car Leasing during a car shortage. Does anyone know which Q car series these may have been from?                                                                                                                                     I checked Bulletin #7 and it mentioned 960 XM-32's were sold and then leased back during a car shortage. But from the renumbering it looks as though all 960 former Q cars were leased back to the Q.

Thanks for any help.
