NALX 115 |
| Description: |
Chicago Burlington & Quincy Railroad weed control train with NALX 115 on the front and CB&Q GP7 242 on the rear, at Naperville, Illinois on July 8, 1963, photograph by Chuck Zeiler. I'm guessing that the gentlemen pictured in the side door of NALX 115 extended and retracted the spray arms as needed. I'm also guessing that these gentlemen are no longer with us after breathing those chemicals all day. Note that the dome covers are open on the tank cars, likely to prevent negative pressure as the chemicals were used up. And the gentleman on the ground was a crew man on the East End Way Freight, which was switching in Naperville as the weed train passed. |

CB&Q Class XM-4C 49739 |
| Description: |
Chicago Burlington & Quincy Railroad Class XM-4C 49739 at Cicero, Illinois on an unknown day in April 1982, Kodachrome by Chuck Zeiler. 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. |
