Eric,
29115 was an XM-5 (28522-29799) built in 1899 By various builders. It had type 13 trucks. I am attaching a folio sheet for the car.
Nice find.

My Dad found a picture of CB&Q boxcar 29115 that was taken in Ottawa, Illinois in the 1900 to 1910 timeframe. Apparently this was in a group of photos showing them loading limestone which is new to me since I did not know they loaded limestone at Ottawa. My research materials do not contain information on Q boxcars of this period. Would anybody happen to know the vitals of these cars like when they were built, when they were retired, and the dimensions? The photo does show the car to be 34' long. Thanks and enjoy the photo.Eric Mumper
