CB&Q Class XM-4C 49699 |
| Description: |
Chicago Burlington & Quincy Railroad Class XM-4C 49699 at Cicero, Illinois on an unknown day in September 1980, Kodachrome by Chuck Zeiler. This car was stenciled: BLT.HV.8.66 and WHEN EMPTY RETURN TO AGENT NP RR WALLULA, WASH. It had placards indicating CLAY PRODUCTS and CLEANED. The following is from the book, CB&Q Color Guide to Freight and Passenger Equipment, by Michael J. Spoor: CB&Q # 49400 - 49799 were built at Havelock ( CB&Q shops in Nebraska ) during 1966 as Class XM-4C. 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 XM-4C's featured the combination 8' and 6' 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, the XM-4C's 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, the XM-4C's never received either, even though both groups of cars were being built at the same time. And the following came from an internet search: The waffle side cars featured protrusions on the exterior which held load tie-downs on the interior. |
