Re: [CBQ] green box car

Check BB#7 for photos. Here's one, but I don't remember the source. All of the 
baggage express cars were returned to freight service by my modeling date of 
1953 because the Q preferred 50 ft. XM-33 boxcars and converted troop kitchens 
for higher capacity.

In 1944 the Q converted about 300 XM-32 boxcars to passenger boxcars, painted 
them green and renumbered them in the 82XX series. They were used as baggage 
and express cars.
After the war when the Q fot the troop kitchen cars the boxcars were returned 
to freight service and renumbered back into the 30xxx series.
I don’t kno of any photos of them.
