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

The discussion and photo were about a box-like covering that was attached to the FM-14 flat cars to convert them to haul the bodies of WWII bombers.  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.

Could someone explain what a bomberbox is, when they were used, etc.?

Thanks
