Re: [CBQ] Q express box cars

Does the listing indicate if the storage mail boxcars were converted troop 
kitchens or XM-33? Another possibility is a foreign road. PRR. SP. UP, B&O, 
NYC, etc. frequently sent express boxcars to destinations West of Denver. Some 
was interchanged in Omaha (UP and SP for example) and some in Denver. Listing 
'storage mail boxcars' doesn't provide enough information.

Burlington Route Passenger Trains Volume 3 by Strauss has listings of three 
mail trains with "storage mail boxcars" in December '64
