Thread-topic: [CBQ] CB&Q Ballast car
Rupert:  

In a word, yes, the wood sides were a WWII economy measure, since steel plate was not available for railroad carbuilding.  Commenting on previous points raised, these cars were always painted mineral red, never Chinese red, and from the mid-1960s on were used primarily for sugar beet loading on Lines West.  As built, they carried the Everywhere West slogan on the right side and Way of the Zephyrs on the left.  The side is determined with the car's A end forward and B or brakewheel end to the rear.

I suspect that your photo was a company photo, taken at Havelock, of the first of the class. Just a slight discrepancy between the date of the photo and the construction date on the car.

Were the wood sides a wartime economy measure?

Greg - I can contribute the attached three-quarter side image of CB&Q 221500 taken in March 1943.

 

What is the original car number for the ballast hopper your group has restored? Best Regards - Louis
