Fred,

As always, I ask a simple question and get a wealth of information I never expected.  Thanks for the insight.

After several weeks of research and trying to recall some of details on the who, what, where and why of CBQ 86ft High Cube Box cars I have finally got it done.  It was 56 years ago (1964) that the cars were built.  With 20/20 hindsight it appears to have been a poor investment but at the time the Burlington had no choice.  The positive side is that it wasn't that many cars and we did not lose as much as several other railroads. 

If your interested I can put together something about 60ft parts cars, frame flats, and some very different bi-level auto racks that the Burlington had.
