The Ford Fast originated out of St.Louis, so it is unlikely the Q had a hand in delivering cars to the UP at Council bluffs/Omaha. Most photos of Q hi-cubes were taken on other lines, but they did occasionally show up on home trackage for maintenance. The same applied to the various series of D&RGW RBLs and specially equipped cars. Jim Sandrin
All,
Tangent just released a beautiful model of the 86' Greenville boxcar. While not in Q colors yet, I suspect David is already researching his next release.
The history of the cars show they were in pool service which makes sense, my question is around the movement of autoparts. One of the routes was the Ford FAST over the DRGW and it appears the routing flipped between the UP and the MP/DRGW. Would the Q have
handled any of these cars on Lines West? Would they have been on the Chicago-Grand Island trains to be handed off to the UP?
The question is not limited to the big 86' cars but for any autoparts cars like the 60' XM-6As
Thanks
Ricky Keil
