CB&Q XM-12 10381
Title:  CB&Q XM-12 10381
Description:  CB&Q XM-12 10381, Cicero, Illinois, October, 1979, photo by Chuck Zeiler. From the book, "CB&Q Color Guide To Freight And Passenger Equipment", by Michael J. Spoor: "In March 1967, Havelock, using many of the same components that went into the XM-7's, constructed # 10380-10399, Class XM-12. These cars also had an inside length of 60'5" but capacity dropped to 6,000 cu.ft. because the vertical ribs were on the interior of the cars. Like the XM-7's, two 8' sliding doors and Hydra Cushion underframes were installed". Original doors would have had one white stripe running from the lower left to upper right across both doors. This indicated that the car was equipped with Evans DF2 belt rails. All 20 cars were originally assigned to the Pontiac Motor Division, Pontiac, Michigan.

CB&Q NE-10 13515
Title:  CB&Q NE-10 13515
Description:  CB&Q Class NE-10 13515 westbound at Naperville, Illinois on November 15, 1963, photo by Chuck Zeiler. Sorry about the motion blur, this one caught me off-guard. The NE-10's were the CB&Q's first all steel waycars (caboose) , a group of 25 (#'s 13500-13524) were built at the Burlington's Aurora, Illinois car shops, the last waycars built at Aurora. All previous waycars were of steel underframe, wood body construction. These were the only steel waycars to see extensive use with steam power. This particular waycar was built in March, 1930 and became BN 11460. Around 1945, some of the NE-10's received electric generators (axle-powered), lights, and radios. As seen here, a wagon wheel radio antenna has been installed on the roof, and a battery box is carried below the floor. When built, the NE-10's were painted in the standard mineral red paint scheme. Later, some NE-10's were painted in CB&Q's MOW Orange paint, as seen here, and later still, some were painted in the silver paint scheme. These waycars replaced many of the assigned waycars in Chicago - Denver freight service. Many of the wood waycars were assigned to specific conductors, and this explains this waycar's position between freight cars on this train. Upon arrival at Galesburg (crew change point), the cars behind this waycar and the wood waycar at the end wil be removed and the train will continue with this waycar carrying the markers. The wood waycar will be set off on the Galesburg caboose track until its assigned conductor marks up for a return trip. That's an interesting trailer ahead of the waycar, a Bessemer open top, and the canvas cover is stecilled B&LE, barely visible between the ladder rungs of the waycar.
