CB&Q Class XM-32D 61387 - a photo on Flickriver

            Chicago Burlington & Quincy Railroad Class XM-32D 61387 at Cicero, Illinois on an unknown day in August 1980, Kodachrome by Chuck Zeiler. The CB&Q had 2,500 class XM-32D's built at the Havelock, Nebraska shops during 1953.  Previous 40 foot boxcars were in the 20000 and 30000 number series, and the railroad was forced to go either below the already occupied 17000 number series or above the 50000 stockcar number series.  The 60000 number series was chosen, and 2,250 40 foot boxcars were assigned CB&Q 60000-62249 series, and 250 cars were assigned to the FW&D 9001-9250 number series.  The first 1,500 CB&Q cars were equipped with the No. 79 truck, the remainder of the production run was equipped with the No. 81 truck.  All except the FW&D cars were fitted with the Youngstown corrugated door; the FW&D cars received Superior five-panel doors.  When built, all were painted mineral red and received the Way of the Zephyrs and Everywhere West script slogan paint scheme.  Cars repaired after 1958 received the Chinese Red paint with Way of the Zephyrs and Everywhere West slogans in block lettering below the herald, and white stripes above and below the reporting marks.  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.
