[CBQ] Naked Budd Roofs on the Q

["Charlie Vlk" <cvlk@comcast.net>]

All-
The comment below was made on the Passenger Car List.    Other than WWII
photos of some prewar Budd cars (likely to have been included in the
Exposition Flyer and therefore going to the West Coast)  I don't recall
seeing photos of Q Budd cars with painted roofs.  
What did the CB&Q do to keep their roofs from leaking?

As time went on most roads (not all) changed the roofs of their Budd
sleepers from stainless to black. The reason was because the roofs of the
Budd sleepers leaked. The black wasn't paint, but an asphalt based sealer
that was applied to seal up the many small cracks that developed in the Budd
roofs.
