Re: [CBQ] Boeing Cars

["Tom Mack via Groups.Io" <thommack=yahoo.com@groups.io>]

According to the first BN flat car diagram book:

CB&Q 91900 built 1968 Thrall Maxson length 61'9" capacity 70 tons
CB&Q 91901 built 1968 Thrall Maxson length 61'6" capacity 70 tons
CB&Q 91902-91904 built 1969 Thrall Maxson length 61'6" capacity 75 tons 

Strangely, though, the detailed data sheet entries on Data Sheet 86B state:

CB&Q 91900             Built 1968 Lt Wt 59100  Nom 140000 Lengths: Truck Centers - 46'-6"; Over Strikers - 62'-1"; Over Pulling Face - 67'7"; Width - 11'6"
CB&Q 91901-91904  Built 1969 Lt Wt 59100  Nom 140000 Lengths: Truck Centers - 50'-5"; Over Strikers - 62'-9"; Over Pulling Face - 68'3"; Width - 11'6" 

A photo of CB&Q 91901 can be found at: http://www.rr-fallenflags.org/cbq/cbq91901o02.jpg Reweigh date looks like 5-75 and shows a capacity of 46 tons and a lt wt of 127200 lbs (almost 64 tons)!!

I show CB&Q 91903 EMPTY on GN train 82 headed to Boeing Wichita on 11-19-69 (through MPLS-StP interchange to the Q). I believe Boeing Wichita was the assignment for these cars with loads going to Everett, WA (the 747 assembly plant).
