Bill,

The single sheathed cars also had Everywhere West applied to both sides.

On pages 41 & 42 of the "CB&Q Color Guide to Freight & Passenger Equipment" (by Mike Spoor, Morning Sun Books), there are photos of XM-26 & XM-28 single sheathed wood boxcars.

 

These boxcars are in mineral red paint with white lettering and the scripted Everywhere West slogan on the doors.    

 

My questions are these:

 

Was the scripted Everywhere West slogan used on the doors of both sides of these cars ?

 

or

 

Was the scripted Everywhere West slogan used on one side and the scripted Way of the Zephyrs slogan used on the other side ?

 

My BRHS Data Sheet 9 (Single Sheathed Boxcars XM-25) is packed away right now and inaccessable.

 

The BRHS Data Sheet 7 (USRA Double Sheathed Boxcars) is available for viewing to members on the BRHS website.  For the XM-24 double sheathed boxcars, DS-7 states that they had the scripted Everywhere West slogan on both sides (i.e., on each sliding door) after 1936. 

 

My hunch is that the single sheathed boxcars also had the scripted EW slogan on both sides (i.e., on each sliding door).   

 

Can anyone please confirm this ?

 

Thanks in advance for your help !!!
