I believe the Illinois Railway Museum has taken home this havyweight baggage car. It is from the A,C & F in 1927 rides on six-wheel trucks It is a long time since it was on the C,B & Q Railroad. anybody know about its recent history? Ted Miles, who likes head end cars |

No clue. Looked in several places (list of extant equipment on the BRHS website, CB&Q mail list on GroupsIO, the passenger car dept. blog at IRM, even a general Google search), with zilch results. Glick's excellent CB&Q roster book shows that it went to MofW service on 03/08/67 at Omaha as #240045. Will take some time to manually check the BN MofW roster sheets to find if it made it that far, and if so when it was sold off. |

This may explain its arrival at IRM. https://railfan.com/struggling-nebraska ... entennial/ I presume that the article using the MOW number and IRM is using the CB&Q number? I think this has been discussed on rypn. Bob |

And that fills in the rest, should've realized that the CB&Q MofW #240045 listed by Glick had an error, was actually #250045. To BN #976184 in August 1980, but no retirement date is listed in the BN MofW sheets. The above article also mentions 2 Pullmans that had been part of the FEVR collection, now also sold off by NRM. Will need to cross-post that to the Pullman thread here. |
