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.
