| Description: |
Chicago Burlington & Quincy Railroad Class LO-6B 87782 at Cicero, Illinois on an unknown day in December 1979, Kodachrome by Chuck Zeiler. The following is from Burlington Route Historical Society's publication, Burlington Bulletin 20 COVERED HOPPERS, edited by Hol Wagner: The other 50 Airslide cars of 4,180 cubic-foot capacity, classed LO-6B and numbered 87750 - 87799, were built in January 1966 and differed in a number of details from their 1964 and 1965 predecessors. First, though not visible, they were divided internally into two separate compartments. Externally, they had somewhat different vertical end bracing and, consequently, different hand brake mounting arrangements. They were also the only Q Airslides with the registered trade name stenciled on the cars - in the upper left-hand corner. |
