I am interested in modeling the CB&Q in 1915 and I have a question about the line's 34' boxcars.  At that time they were rapidly being retired in favor of new 40' cars, from what I can gather from ORERs available online, but there were still a few hundred 34' cars in service.  The only photo I've been able to find of one was on this group, post #49156:


CBQ


So my question is, did all of the line's 34' boxcars have those canted queen posts that angled away from the center line of the car or did some have more typical vertical queen posts?  I've been able to find virtually no information on turn-of-the-century CB&Q freight cars online and don't know where to look in published material.
