They were apparently testing Budd trucks on commuter service cars.

A large size photo of 7100.

 

Also: a photo of 7112, showing how the ends originally looked. I forget what the consensus was on its’ unusual truck coverings.

 

 

Thanks!

Tim,

 

Suburban coach 7158 and other cars in that group, were originally built for suburban service, as open platform cars in the CB&Q’s Aurora Shop in 1930. At that time, they were painted in Pullman green or a close variation of that color. Around 1950, as the Q was modernizing their suburban service, they rebuilt a number of cars, including 7158, as “Suburbanaire” cars to supplement their new fleet of double deck cars. Initially, there weren’t enough double deck or gallery cars to cover all trains, particularly in rush hour. As part of the rebuild of the 1930 cars, the end platforms were enclosed. As the cars were finished, they were painted in a lighter green with a tan belt around the windows and a yellow stripe around that. The attached photo of car 7156 shows the paint scheme. If your car has the enclosed vestibules, which I assume it does, then its paint scheme ought to be as shown and it would only date to about 1950. The rebuilt closed vestibule suburban cars were never painted Pullman green.
