CB&Q 83347 |
| Description: |
Chicago Burlington & Quincy Railroad gondola 83347 at Cicero, Illinois on an unknown day in August 1979, Kodachrome by Chuck Zeiler. There is a baseball game in the background. The car appears to be loaded with the roofs that it was once equipped with. In 1959 the Burlington rebuilt 25 GM-4A gondolas with higher sides and sectional removable roofs. These proved popular with shippers, so the Q continued to add covered gondolas to the roster. Number 83347 was one of 100 cars (#'s 83300-83399) built by Havelock in 1965 so equipped. |
