A little while back we had a discussion about these "odd cars" found in Beatrice, NE.

I stumbled across an in service shot in CB&Q paint, thought people here might find interesting.

That photo is dated circa 1970. Does it look circa 1970? Looks more like the 40s or 50s.

Burlington Bulletin #15 has 13 pages worth of information and photos plus drawings on these cars.  Out of print but you can find it on EBay every so often.

Yeah it's obviously labeled incorrectly, 1940's would be my guess, the reweigh date on the car is 9/1944.

Nice... I will have to keep my eyes open for that issue.
