NP XML 1303 |
| Description: |
NP XML 1303 at Cicero, Illinois on an unknown day in October 1979, Kodachrome by Chuck Zeiler. The following is from the book, NP Color Guide to Freight and Passenger Equipment, by Todd Sullivan: NP Series 1300-1305 - Northern Pacific had only 26 60-foot boxcars on its roster, and those arrived fairly late in the NP's history. The first group of six cars was built by Pullman-Standard in November 1966, and received the standard boxcar paint and lettering of that time: mineral brown and white lettering, 5 foot 6 inch NP initials shaded in black to the left of the door, and the 8 foot Northern Pacific Railway herald to the right of the 10 foot door. |

CB&Q XML-8 10211 at Cicero, Illinois on an unknown day in January 1981, Kodachrome by Chuck Zeiler. The following description is from the book, CB&Q Color Guide To Freight And Passenger Equipment, by Michael J. Spoor, and although it applies to a later series of cars, the Official Railway Equipment Register (October 1971) gives this series of cars (10200-10214) the same dimensions as the series described in the book: "The Q returned to Pullman in 1965 for 55 more auto parts cars, #10215-10269, which were designated XML-8. These cars had 10' sliding doors, Evans DF2 belt rails, and Hydroframe 40 cushion gear. Most of these cars were assigned to various divisions of General Motors.". Some of the cars were assigned to Libby Owens Ford Glass Company in Ottawa, Illinois. At the time of this photo, this particular car carried placards indicating it contains glass. The diagonal stripe on the door indicates that Evans DF2 belt rails are installed. It is stencilled: New 7-65 Exceeds Plate C. These 15 cars in the CB&Q 10200-10214 series became BN #'s 355135-355149. |
