Re: [CBQ] Poultry Car?

Louis,

The Q did not own any "poultry" cars as Richard pointed they were owned by the Live Poultry Transportation Company. However the Q did haul many of them. I have a bulletin from the Adams Co. Historical Society about hauling chickens from Nebraska to New York. A rider rode in the car to feed and water the chickens then got a pullman ticket home.

There was also an article in the May 2015 "NMRA magazine"

Rupert - Did the Q ever have any "poultry" cars to transport chickens, turkeys and other fowl from the farm to market? Note the attached undated image of CB&Q Class H-1 No. 1038 taken at Mount Ayr, IA. The first car behind the tender looks like a giant chicken coop mounted on a flat car body. Sure looks like a poultry car to me. What do you think? Best Regards - Louis
