Rupert,
I have about 8 of these from various years in the 1950s and
1960s. It's been my impression from looking at the CB&Q
listings of each that they only showed equipment the CB&Q was
willing to allow to go on other lines for one-time or temporary
use. My thinking is except in off-peak times, the railroad was
always short Budd lightweight cars and had no interest in other
railroads making solicitations for use of this equipment. This
shortage has been documented many times in CB&Q correspondence
from the passenger department.
However, they were more than happy to have heavyweight cars and
baggage cars go off-line to earn revenue.

I’ve
just received the CB&Q pages from the 1963 Official
Register of Passenger Train Equipment, the equivalent of the
ORER.
Although it seems to list most passenger-related equipment
including baggage, mail and express equipment, it doesn’t
include sleepers. Any suggestions why they were omitted?
If anyone has copies of other ORPTE’s or can help with the
ORER’s listed below, I’d be very grateful to obtain copies
of the Burlington, etc. pages.
