CB&Q 250068 |
| Description: |
Chicago Burlington & Quincy Railroad 250068 ( ex-8689, on the left ) and 250067 ( ex-8629, on the right ) at Oregon, Illinois on June 24, 1982, Kodachrome by Chuck Zeiler. The Burlington purchased 300 troop kitchen cars after World War II and converted them to mail storage and express baggage cars. Some were later converted to freight cars requiring the installation of ladders and walkways on the roof. They were likely in restricted service due to the small loading doors. Eventually these two ended up in MOW service. |
