Rupert:

 

It's actually the 251000, previously Q 639, originally Pullman 10-section/lounge/observation "Montezuma."  In the photo it's being used as the Pullman Company supply car at the Q's 14th Street coachyard in Chicago.  I went through it there in June 1963 when it was still the 639.

There is a slide offered for sale on eBay labelled “CB&Q 2500 Passenger Car EMD’s Yard Chicago IL” at
https://www.ebay.com/itm/Dupe-Slide-CB-Q-2500-Passenger-Car-EMD-s-Yard-Chicago-IL-Burlington/143176410738?hash=item2155faa672:g:zKIAAOSwVKhcjuZU and I’m wondering what it is.

 

It looks a bit like the Aleutian office car although the window arrangement doesn’t seem to match. I can’t find any record of a passenger car with that number, although the oblique angle of the photo makes it hard to check. The car looks more blue than green but that could be just fading.  Any suggestions?
