RE: [CBQ] Poultry Car?

Al Hoffman, who is not a member of this group (but was the person behind the Aurora Shops HO scale brass Q passenger cars), has gathered probably more information on poultry cars than anyone and has done his presentation on the cars for the Naperville Prototype Modelers gathering and other gatherings.  Hopefully some day it will translate into a book on the subject.

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
