CB&Q XML-16 20716
Title:  CB&Q XML-16 20716
Description:  Chicago Burlington & Quincy Railroad Class XML-16 20716 at Cicero, Illinois on an unknown day in September 1981, Kodachrome by Chuck Zeiler. This was one of 205 class XML-16's built in 1969 by Berwick Foundry and Forge. It was delivered in the pre-merger cascade green paint scheme. The plan was to paint the word NORTHERN below BURLINGTON once the merger was approved in 1970, but the font changed after the merger, so the plan was never implemented. For grins, I cloned the word NORTHERN out of BURLINGTON and "painted" it on the car in Photoshop, and I think I see the problem. The letter E is difficult to read in this font style. The final BN font is thinner. This car is stenciled: "When Empty Return To Railroad Agent Clinton Iowa" on the right side by the ladder. The re-weigh date is: CP 9-79.

CB&Q XML-16 20788
Title:  CB&Q XML-16 20788
Description:  CHicago Burlington & Quincy Railroad Class XML-16 20788 at Cicero, Illinois on an unknown day in October 1979, Kodachrome by Chuck Zeiler. Berwick Foundry and Forge built 205 of these cars , numbered 20695-20899, in 1969. They were 50'6" inside, and had a 10' door, and this one is stenciled as having a 5080 cu. ft. capacity. This particular car is stenciled: Blt. 7. 69, and the re-weigh date is: SD. 2 75. The use of red paint with the re-weigh lettering suggests a CB&Q scale was used. There was a scale at Sheridan, Wyoming and Shenandoah, Iowa, two towns with SD in the name, just speculation on my part. These cars eventually became BN 316900-317104.

CB&Q Class XML-1 23013
Title:  CB&Q Class XML-1 23013
Description:  Chicago Burlington & Quincy Railroad Class XML-1 23013 at Cicero, Illinois on an unknown day in January 1981, Kodachrome by Chuck Zeiler. From the book, "CB&Q Color Guide to Freight and Passenger Equipment", by Michael J. Spoor: "Built in 1955 at Havelock (CB&Q shops in Nebraska), the 100 cars of the Class XML-1, numbered #23000-23099 were all equipped with Evans DF (Damage Free) Loader Equipment.". The re-weigh date is: CH 7 77, although below the re-weigh stencil it is also stencilled: Fort Madison 6 68. I believe the trucks were known as Chrysler trucks, and once had a shock absorber (snubber) mounted in brackets between the coil springs, which have been removed by the time of this photo. There are two notes in the October 1971 Official Railway Equipment Register (ORER): Note #4 says that cars in the 23000 to 23099 (among other numbers) are specially equipped with belt rails and cross bars. Note #19 says that this car specifically (23013, among other numbers mentioned) is equipped with fork lift truck pallets, platforms or skids, which will be considered part of the car. Of course, that was in 1971, and these items may or may not be present at this date (1981). This car also appears to acquired a replacement door during a shopping.

CB&Q Class XML-5 23223
Title:  CB&Q Class XML-5 23223
Description:  Chicago Burlington & Quincy Railroad Class XML-5 23223 at Knoxville, Tennessee on an unknown day in April 1980, Kodachrome by Chuck Zeiler. The CB&Q's shops in Havelock, Nebraska built 73 (#23200-23272) of these XML-5 boxcars during November 1964. They were equipped with Keystone underframes, Evans DF-2 bulkheads, 10'0" door openings, and a 4974 cubic foot capacity. All 73 were in assigned service. This particular car is stenciled "Return Emply To Agent CMStP&P...." and I cannot make out the last line, but there was an interchange point between the Burlington and Milwaukee at Crawford, Wisconsin (Prairie Du-Chien), and the stencilling looks similar to that. It is definitely Wisconsin. The door is placarded CLAY PRODUCTS, so it was likely assigned to a clay products manufacturer in Wisconsin. This car still has its roofwalk at this late date.
