Chicago Burlington & Quincy Railroad Class XM-32F 63726 at Cicero, Illinois on an unknown day in June 1980, Kodachrome by Chuck Zeiler. The CB&Q had 1,500 boxcars class XM-32F boxcars built at the Havelock, Nebraska shops during 1958, numbered 62500 - 63999. The 62500 - 63399 series all received the 81-B trucks and Superior five-panel doors, and cars in the 63400 - 63999 series received Improved Youngstown/Camel doors and the 79-A trucks. When built, all were painted in the new Chinese Red paint with Way of the Zephyrs and Everywhere West slogans in block lettering below the herald, and white stripes above and below the reporting marks. Those details were eliminated during the 1960's. Also during the 1960's the Scotchlite herald decal was replaced with a stencil, still in full red/black/white. By 1968, the BN merger was all but assured, and cars repaired after 1968 received the BN Cascade Green pre-merger paint scheme. |
