No sooner did I post this then I thought to check the CB&Q Group archives and found the info I needed. There is a great article with photos of the XA-16's in  the Railway Prototype Cyclopedia 13. If anyone has links to additional photos on the web, though, I would like to see some color photos.

I am looking for information and photos of the CB&Q XA-16 double-door 40 ft boxcars. The notes I have show that there were 500 of these 40' 6" double door automobile boxcars built in 1946 at Havelock in series 39000-39499. Between 1954 and 1962 the were converted to "regular boxcars" and renumbered into the 9000-9499 series. 19 of these cars remained in service as of the merger. My BN diagrams show these cars were renumbered BN 197880-197899 and still had a 15' door opening, which indicates they still had double doors.

Details and photos/links of these cars would be appreciated.
