RE: [CBQ] Poultry Car?

Louis and Rupert.

When I was a lad I live in Basin Wy. I played cowboys and indians in turkey pens, later learned that all the stops of the Q in the Big Horn Basin had large turkey operations and the Q promoted the turkey business, I have later learned for a while some farmers made nice profits from selling them.

So, this thread may provide how they were transported.  Humm maybe even a model.

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
