CB&Q Class XML-11 49543
Title:  CB&Q Class XML-11 49543
Description:  Chicago Burlington & Quincy Railroad Class XML-11 49543 ( stenciled XML ) at Cicero, Illinois on February 26, 1984, Ektachrome by Chuck Zeiler. The following is excerpted from the book, CB&Q Color Guide to Freight and Passenger Equipment, by Michael J. Spoor: CB&Q #'s 49400 - 49799 were built at Havelock ( CB&Q shops in Nebraska ) during 1966 ( as Class XML-11 ). 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 cars featured the combination 6' and 8' 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, they 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, these cars never received either, even though both groups of cars were being built at the same time.

The waffle side cars featured protrusions on the exterior which held load tie-downs on the interior. Between 1967 and 1970, 126 cars had their loading devices removed and were re-classed XM-4C while retaining their former numbers. The only visible difference was the class stencil - XML or XL ( loader equipped ) or XM ( loaders removed ) - to the right of the CAPY data.

CB&Q XM-32D 60000
Title:  CB&Q XM-32D 60000
Description:  CB&Q class XM-32D 60000 at Cicero, Illinois on an unknown day in November, 1979, Kodachrome by Chuck Zeiler. The CB&Q had 2,500 class XM-32D's built at the Havelock, Nebraska shops during 1953. Previous 40 foot boxcars were in the 17000 and 30000 number series, and the railroad was forced to go either below the already occupied 17000 number series or above the 50000 stockcar number series. The 60000 number series was chosen, and 2,250 40 foot boxcars were assigned CB&Q 60000-62249 series, and 250 cars were assigned to the FW&D 9001-9250 number series. The first 1,500 CB&Q cars were equipped with the No. 79 truck, the remainder of the production run was equipped with the No. 81 truck. All except the FW&D cars were fitted with the Youngstown corrugated door; the FW&D cars received Superior five-panel doors. When built, all were painted mineral red and received the Way of the Zephyrs and Everywhere West slogan paint scheme. Cars repaired after 1958 received the 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 and assigned the BN 161000-161899 number series.
