[CBQ] Black box car

["'Rupert & Maureen' gamlenz@ihug.co.nz [CBQ]" <CBQ@yahoogroups.com>]

I’ve received a query regarding the colour of CB&Q box cars in the early 1900’s, as to whether they were painted anything other than mineral red. Apparently there was a reference “somewhere” to black box cars although I have no recollection of that being discussed on the List.

The only suggestion that comes to mind would be the hearse cars 10000-10005, where black might have been considered a more appropriate colour.  Any suggestions?
