A friend of mine sent me a photo that had CB&Q 7325 in the train. It’s obviously a fifty foot boxcar that was originally in automobile service, but had the leading digit removed when put into general service. It has ends similar to the XA-14 class cars, the 3-3-3 dreadnaught ends, but has wooden doors on the side. Anyone have a clue as to what the original number of the car might have been, or which class of car it might have been assigned to on the Q? The photograph was probably taken late 1950’s t0 1962 based on other things in the image.
I would post the image, but I don’t know where my friend found it, and have no way of knowing who holds the copyright on the image, so I can’t put it on the list.
