Leo - I've attached two faded color images of the "shorty" combine:

CB&Q 3003 taken at Waterman, IL, dated July 6, 1957.

CB&Q 3003 taken at Aurora, IL, on the Oregon Way Freight dated September 11, 1965.

I've always wondered, too, as to the car's origin.  Too bad it didn't end-up in a railroad museum. Best Regards - Louis

Not all "branch line passenger equipment " operated just on branch lines.

On the Aurora Division the Oregon Turn wayfreight operated on the C & I mainline from Aurora,IL to Oregon, IL and return daily as a mixed into the 1960s. It was based at Eola yard. I'm traveling and can't access files for exact dates. The 3003 a "shorty" converted from (?) and served as the waycar/passenger accommodation for many years.

There are pictures of the 3003 in Daniels waycar book and others. The Glick books likely

Have drawings of and info. As to what car the 3003 was converted from.
