Re: [CBQ] CB&Q Livestock Car: Single Deck? Double Deck?

["Charlie Vlk" <cvlk@comcast.net>]

All-

The cars are convertible be adding a second deck. When this happened the “D” was added to the number.  As the deck wasn’t a moveable fixture it was only changed as traffic patterns dictated.

I’ll look t my Burlington Bulletin on the subject if there is any hard data on the subject.

CB&Q Livestock Car: Single Deck? Double Deck?

Diane Wolfgram sent me a photo of a Leadville Designs N-scale CB&Q livestock car No. 59358. She requested a prototype photo for comparison.

The prototype CB&Q car was in series 58000-59499.

I had a photo of CB&Q 58214, 58214D to be exact…a double-deck car.

The January 1955 Official Equipment Register lists cars in that series as single-deck cars. So, what’s going on here?

The listing for the 58000-59499 series included a Note E. A reading of Note E revealed a simple answer, seen below.
