CB&Q Class XM-4 47949 |
| Description: |
Chicago Burlington & Quincy Railroad Class XM-4 47949 at Cicero, Illinois on an unknown day in September 1980, Kodachrome by Chuck Zeiler. I could not find information about this series of cars ( 47800 - 48276 ) but they have the same dimensions and capacity as the previous series, so the following will be used from the book, CB&Q Color Guide to Freight and Passenger Equipment, by Michael J. Spoor: Built at Havelock ( CB&Q Shops in Nebraska ) in 1963, it was part of Class XM-4 which consisted of 300 cars built to a Northern Pacific design. Featuring single-sheathed, outside post construction with 8' plug main doors and 6' auxiliary plug doors, grain access doors ( at the top of the main door ) and a 5,080 cu. ft. capacity, these cars were numbered 47500 - 47799 . |

CB&Q Class XM-4C 49690 |
| Description: |
Chicago Burlington & Quincy Railroad Class XM-4C 49690 at Cicero, Illinois on an unknown day in September 1980, Kodachrome by Chuck Zeiler. The following is from the book, CB&Q Color Guide to Freight and Passenger Equipment, by Michael J. Spoor: CB&Q # 49400 - 49799 were built at Havelock ( CB&Q shops in Nebraska ) during 1966 as Class XM-4C. Built to a Northern Pacific design, these were the only boxcars on the Q to feature the waffle pattern on the car side. All of the XM-4C's featured the combination 8' and 6' plug doors with grain access doors ( at the top of the 8' door ) originally introduced in 1963 on the Class XM-4's. Also like the XM-4's, the XM-4C's had an inside length of 50' 6" and a 5,080 cu. ft. capacity. While the XM-4B's of 1966 came with roofwalks and ladders, the XM-4C's never received either, even though both groups of cars were being built at the same time. And the following came from an internet search: The waffle side cars featured protrusions on the exterior which held load tie-downs on the interior. |
