Thread-topic: | [CBQ] Boeing Cars |
Mike I ordered and received the Shipping Planes on Trains Vol 3 & 4 today and I want to thank you. Some of the material in Vol 3 appears useful for Q modelers based on the route the cars took. Just for pure historical information, the books are fantastic! Ricky Keil Papillion, NE From: CBQ@groups.io <CBQ@groups.io> on behalf of Michael Woodruff <mwoodruff54@gmail.com>

purpose and were used simply for weatherproofing and damage protection for the loads. They were also in a variety of different sizes and shapes depending upon the parts or assemblies that they were protecting. The vast majority of photos I've seen of these
"canopy cars" were flatcars in the GN 607XX series and SP 598XX series which I think were either purpose-built or specifically modified to carry the Boeing loads and their protective canopies.
A book you might be interested in is "Shipping Planes on Trains, Vol. 3" by Andrew Klamka (akb777@att.net) which contains a wealth of photos and in-depth information
regarding the 747 components (and parts for other contemporary commercial and military aircraft) that were shipped by rail. It does include a not-so-great photo of a Boeing canopy on CB&Q flatcar 91901.
