CR Flexi-Flo 898080 |
| Description: |
Conrail Flexi-Flo 898080 at the BN yard in Cicero, Illinois on an unknown day in July 1981, Kodachrome by Chuck Zeiler. This appears to be an ACF design, called a "Center Flow Pressure Differential Tank Covered Hopper" in the 1966 edition of the Car and Locomotive Cyclopedia. It further states, "Unloads lading by fluidizing and introduction into air stream for conveyance to trucks or storage." The preceding description was for a NYC 70 ton car. This car was stenciled: NEW 3-75 , CAPY 200000 , LT.WT 58400 , H58 . Presumably, this was the 100 ton version of the Flexi-Flo design. |

| Description: |
Chicago Burlington & Quincy Railroad Class XM-32F 62916 at Galesburg, Illinois on August 6, 1982, Kodachrome by Gib Allbach, Chuck Zeiler collection. This car was stenciled: BLT.3.58.HV. The CB&Q had 1,500 boxcars class XM-32F boxcars built at the Havelock, Nebraska shops during 1958, numbered 62500 - 63999. 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.

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. |
