Here's another view of the 211581; both were taken by former Q tower operator Marty Bernard.

Jeff and Ken - Here's an inserted and attached image that may answer your questions:
 
 
It shows CB&Q weed sprayer No. 211581 at Chadwick, IL, on August 17, 1964. Looks like the car was painted box car red. Today, the EPA would immediately send this train to the RIP track for being environmentally incorrect what with it's open viewing windows and underframe dripping weed killer.
 
But, in it's less environmentally sensitive era, I bet No. 211581 was very efficient in killing weeds. I don't know what kind of poison was used, but I remember it smelled awful, particularly after a rain. May be Leo or another Group member can share their memories of working on a weed killer train. Best Regards - Louis

I think I have a shot of one I took at Galesburg in 1972 still in full Q orange MOW colors.  I'll try to scan and post it later today.

A friend asked me if I had any plans/pictures of Q weed sprayers circa 1950's.  He seems to think the car would be a boxcar with windows or a boxcar/flat car combo.  The only picture I could find was a "speeder" type car with a trailer, and a leased unit from 1963.  Can any of you help me point him in the right direction?
