It is interesting that in 1957, the Q was still overhauling automobile cars with racks!

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.

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.
