CB&Q Class XM-2 41457
Title:  CB&Q Class XM-2 41457
Description:  Chicago Burlington & Quincy Railroad Class XM-2 41457 at Cicero, Illinois on an unknown day in June 1980, Kodachrome by Chuck Zeiler. The CB&Q shops at Havelock, Nebraska built 600 combination door 40 foot 6 inch boxcars in 1959, numbered 41000 - 41599. They had a 100,000 pound capacity and all were painted in the ( then ) new Chinese red paint scheme. This car was stenciled: BLT.HV.12.59 and on the lower left: DOC. ASURUTA. NO SE CARGUE . The word CARGUE translates to LOADING, I'm guessing it means DO NOT LOAD, suggesting that perhaps this car had ventured south of the border sometime in its career.
