| Chicago Burlington & Quincy Railroad Class LP-5 95234 on the C&NW at North Avenue in Chicago, Illinois on August 29, 1986, Kodachrome by Chuck Zeiler. The following is from the book, CB&Q Color Guide to Freight and Passenger Equipment, by Michael J. Spoor: In 1967 the Burlington purchased 100 bulkhead flat cars from General Steel Castings Company. Numbered 95200-95299 and classified LP-5, these cars had the standard 48 foot 6 inch inside length and 8 foot 6 inch bulkheads, but carried two different types of tiedown anchors. Cars 95200-95249 had lading anchors, while 95250-95299 assigned to U. S. Gypsum in Sperry, Iowa had Brandon tiedowns favored by the shipper. Hard to believe that under all that dirt is Chinese Red paint. |
