Is your preoccupation with that specific Bomber Boxcar in Scottsbluff or are you interested in any of those Bomber Boxcars the CB&Q hauled during wartime? If the latter, you may be interested to learn there's one of those Bomber Boxcars in Brookfield , Missouri. It shows its age, but is readily identifiable for what it was. Very, very rusty but accessible location. / John Swearingen

They are covered in detail in BB15 as mentioned by Nelson and are available for purchase at the BRHS Company Store on www.BurlingtonRoute.org.
