RE: [CBQ] Boxcar Series Question

Nelson,

Information I have from the 1965 diagram book is as follows:

 

20000-20089 XP-1 50’ car with 10’ doors steel parts car

20100-20299 XP-1B 50’ car with 10’ doors steel parts car

20500-20509 XP-1A 50’ car steel parts car with 1 end door

The next series gets a little muddled due to the numbering of hoppers in the number sequence at some point.

21000	21399	BOX	50	XM-33	STEEL SINGLE DOOR CAR
22000	22069	HOPPER	50	HT-14	STEEL 4 BAY RIBSIDE
22000	22499	BOX	50	XM-33A	STEEL SINGLE DOOR CAR
22500	22749	BOX	50	XM-33A	STEEL SINGLE DOOR CAR

 

Maybe this will help.

Gene

Subject: [CBQ] Boxcar Series Question

 

 

I went through the CB&Q listings in the 1953 ORER, and I found four number series between 20000-22749 that I can’t identify to class. They are listed as follows:

 

XAP, auto, steel, 20000-20299

XAP, auto, steel, end door, 20500-20509

XM, steel, 21000-22749 (25 cars in this class were classed XME and they had DF loaders)

 

I’m guessing these were the 50 ft. steel boxcars with and without end doors that Walthers offered, but I don’t know the CB&Q class to which they were assigned. The publication index wasn’t helpful, as a search on these series number gave C&S hoppers.

 

What classes were these cars?
