The 62500 - 63399 series all received the 81-B trucks and Superior five-panel doors, and cars in the 63400 - 63999 series received Improved Youngstown/Camel doors and the 79-A trucks. When built, all were painted in the new 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.

CB&Q Class LO-4 85576
Title:  CB&Q Class LO-4 85576
Description:  Chicago Burlington & Quincy Railroad Class LO-4 85576 at Cicero, Illinois on an unknown day in September 1980, Kodachrome by Chuck Zeiler. The following is from Burlington Route Historical Society's Bulletin 20, COVERED HOPPERS, edited by Hol Wagner: In the early 1960's, Pullman-Standard developed the PS-2CD design, which eliminated the split discharge gates by running the center sill through the inside of the hoppers, thus allowing a single, center-discharge outlet for each hopper, for a total of three outlets per car instead of the previously standard six. Cubic capacity was increased to 4,000 cubic feet by raising the sides another 18 inches and extending the slope sheets all the way to the end of the car frame. Roller bearing trucks of 100-ton capacity were also employed. The Q bought 190 PS-2CD's in 1963, numbering them 85500 - 85689. The first 140 were class LO-4 ( the HC class designation having been abandoned after 1961 ) and featured the traditional 10 circular loading hatches. The last 50 cars were the first Burlington covered hoppers with trough loading hatches and thus were classed LO-4A. All 190 cars still employed the 4/3/4 outside post pattern and had Enterprise gravity outlets.

Title:  CB&Q Class LO-1B 87363
Description:  Chicago Burlington & Quincy Railroad Class LO-1B 87363 at Cicero, Illinois on an unknown day in September 1980, Kodachrome by Chuck Zeiler. The following is from Burlington Route Historical Society's Bulletin 20, COVERED HOPPERS, edited by Hol Wagner: Production of Airslide cars began in 1954 and the Q acquired its first 100 of the 2,600 cubic-foot cars from General American in December of that year: Class LO-1's 87000 - 87099. Another 100 nearly identical cars ( but riding on No. 93 roller bearing A-3 Ride Control trucks ) came in 1955, numbered 87100 - 87199 and classed LO-1A. Fifty-two more of the 29-foot long, 2,600 cubic-foot capacity Airslides joined the roster in 1957 as CB&Q Class LO-2 and numbered 87200 - 87251. The next batch of Airslides - 75 more 50 tonners, classed LO-1B and numbered 87300 - 87373 were delivered in 1958, the year the Q adopted its new image, and consequently they came in the new painting/lettering scheme: gray body, black trucks and underbody ( meaning the hopper slope sheets and discharge outlets were now black instead of gray, though the bolsters and draft gear remained gray ), red lettering and a large Scothlite herald. Note the cross stiffener between posts protruding above and below the herald. These cars, like all Q Airslides, had a baked-on enamel lining. Unlike the earlier LO-1 and LO-2 classes which had open bottoms on the outside vertical posts, the LO-1B series posts had closed bottoms. The Class LO-1B's were eventually renumbered into the BN 400800 - 401139 number series.

Class LO-2A cars 87400 - -87469 were all 2,600 cubic-footers, rated at 70 tons because they rode on No. 86B roller bearing Barber Stabilized trucks.

These cars, like all Q Airslides, had a baked-on enamel lining. The Class LO-2A's were eventually renumbered into the BN 400800 - 401139 number series.cbq87416-

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.

Description:  RBBQ Class RBL-5 77178 at Cicero, Illinois on an unknown day in September 1980, Kodachrome by Chuck Zeiler. This was one of 150 cars built during July and August 1967 by the CB&Q shops in Havelock, Nebraska, road numbers 77100 - 77249. The differed from the previous batch of RBL class cars in the improved door handle on the Camel plug door, and the lack of roofwalks and full height ladders to reach the roof. The ICC banned the roofwalk and associated ladders on new cars built after January 1, 1967. As a result, the new cars' handbrakes were also positioned low on the end of the car. The herald was also positioned slightly different between the two series of cars.
