CB&Q Class HC-1D 182490
Title:  CB&Q Class HC-1D 182490
Description:  Chicago Burlington & Quincy Railroad Class HC-1D 182490 in Chicago, Illinois on an unknown day in July 1980, Kodachrome by Chuck Zeiler. This car was one of 450 cars built between 1940 and 1961 by CB&Q's Havelock, Nebraska shops, rebuilt in 1968-69, reclassed as HC-1D, and renumbered into the number series 182250 - 182449 and 182500 - 182749. The following is excerpted from the Burlington Route Historical Society publication Bulletin 20, COVERED HOPPERS, edited by Hol Wagner. The first 200 Class HC-1D cars were painted in light gray ( body ) with black roller bearing trucks, Chinese red lettering, and full-color Scothlite heralds painted on the car sides between posts rather than a larger Scotchlite decal on a metal plate. The second 250 Class HC-1D cars featured a pre-merger paint scheme that eliminated the herald and substituted an all-caps "BURLINGTON" for the previous upper and lower case "Burlington" at the upper left car side. All lettering was red, and a space was left for the word "NORTHERN" to be added once the merger was consummated, but this was never done. The BN opted for black lettering, and the lettering style employed by the Q on all its pre-merger painted cars did not match the Helvetica style ultimately used by the BN. No other Class HC-1's - CB&Q, C&S, or FW&D - ever received this paint scheme. Number 182490 does not fit into either number series, but was stenciled HV 2-69 and was painted in the pre-merger paint scheme.

Title:  CB&Q Class LO-10 184621
Description:  Chicago Burlington & Quincy Railroad Class LO-10 184621 at Cicero, Illinois on an unknown day in August 1980, Kodachrome by Chuck Zeiler. This car was one of 350 Class LO-10 cars built by Pullman-Standard in 1967 ( at the P-S Butler, PA plant ), numbered 184600 - 184949 ( later, BN 457000 - 457349 ). The following is from Burlington Route Historical Society's Bulletin 20, COVERED HOPPERS, edited by Hol Wagner: During 1967 and 1968, the largest group of Pullman-Standard covered hoppers joined the Q roster in three separate orders totaling 575 cars. These big 4,740 cubic-foot capacity grain cars were of a new design featuring "high" sides ( actually shallow sides with a deep bottom edge higher than normal ), very deep hoppers with the center sill passing through them, and center discharge outlets. Trough hatches had quickly become standard on grain cars, and these Class LO-10 and LO-10A cars featured lightweight four-section fiberglass loading hatches. Built after the 1967 AAR rule changes regarding non-essential rooftop running boards and the consequent positioning of hand brake wheels, these cars had low-mounted brake wheels. All but 50 of the 575 LO-10's had straight gravity discharge outlets of either the Enterprise or Fabko variety; cars 184925 - 184949 featured Enterprise Gravac vacuum-assisted gravity outlets.
