It was never a coach. It's one of the Pullman tourist sleepers purchased by the Q in 1948-49 for conversion into drover's cars and company service cars -- primarily bunk cars. Several of them survived till after the BN merger and one of them is on display
at Galesburg, painted and lettered with its original Pullman car name.
Hope you're doing well during these difficult times. We're all a bit stir crazy out here but not anxious to start going out and mixing with others. It's a predicament of major proportions: tremendous loss of life vs. crashed economy and resultant suffering.
No easy solution.

Subject: [CBQ] Q Passenger Car
I receive emails from Ozark Mountain Railcar from time to time. Today’s addition included a coach that they indicate was a former CB&Q car, later used in MOW service by the BN. Accord to the information, the car was built about 1920.
My problem is that it is a paired window coach which were rare on the Q Neither the 4500 series nor the 6100 series cars had paired windows. The only paired windows= cars that I am aware of were numbered in the 5900 series. They were originally steel under
frame wood sided cars, some of which were later steel sheathed. Could this car be one of those? A few of them lasted into the late 1940s and early 1950s and some may have survived longer in maintenance of way service. Attached below is a copy of the information
sheet from Ozark Mountain. For $22500, the car can be yours! However, because it doesn’t have cooler bearings, it will have to be trucked from its present location.
