Re: [CBQ] Troop Kitchen BE-1 Diagram

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

Thanks Hol for the diagram and Nelson for the window info!

The diagram puts the BE-1 at 13'-5-3/8" tall, That is right in line with the 13'-5" on the GN-REX Express Reefers and the 1947 REX ACF (13'-4.5") and GATC (13'-4") express reefers . So the roof profiles would all pretty much line up. Which means IMHO the third car in the consist must be a shorter car for it to stand out so much. The fifth car definitely looks like a Havelock baggage and those were 13'-6" tall, so the roof profile should pretty much match the GN-REX express reefer, and it does in the photo. The third car also looks to have REX lettering, but at a lower level. Now I'm pretty convinced that it is a Santa Fe REX express reefer at 13"-1" and with the lower lettering to allow for the Santa Fe lettering at the top of the car.
