Gary We use to get some at Congress Park fresh out of the shop coming back to then BN with the new paint. Trouble is they did not remove the ACI plates when they painted. Just sprayed right over. On some it was masked over and when they came by the Ind. Harbor Belt scanners they showed up on the list they gave us as CB&Q cars but now were painted Green. See you
at Rock Island ?

While not entirely CB&Q material, it does make for an interesting read. http://www.wplives.com/accident_reports/1969_tobar_nv.html Tom Kline Houston From: CBQ@yahoogroups.com [mailto:CBQ@yahoogroups.com] Sent: Tuesday, August 12, 2014 6:22 PM To: CBQ@yahoogroups.com 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. Gary Olszewski Posted by: __._,_.___ Posted by: STEVEN HOLDING <sholding@sbcglobal.net> __,_._,___ |
