Title:  CB&Q Class XML-1 23040
Description:  Chicago Burlington & Quincy Railroad Class XML-1 23040 at Kansas City, Missouri on an unknown day in April 1980, Kodachrome by Chuck Zeiler. This car was one of 100 in the 23000-23099 number series built in the CB&Q shops, Havelock, Nebraska in 1955. They were equipped with Evans DF (Damage Free) Load Equipment, one rail divider can be seen in the open door, and the DF symbol is stencilled on the door. Originally painted in the 1955 standard mineral red paint scheme, this car apparently was shopped just before the BN merger of 1970, and received the pre-merger cascade green paint scheme. The re-weigh date is: BJ-3-77, and to the left of the door it is stenciled: When Empty Return to Agent - CB&Q RR Columbus Nebr.
