| Chicago Burlington & Quincy Railroad 251163 at McCook, Nebraska on May 19, 1974, photograph by Bruce Black, Marshall Pochay collection. According to Burlington Route Historical Society's Burlington Bulletin 17, OFFICE CARS, this car was built by the CB&Q at Aurora in 1889 as Office Car 95, sold in 1922 to Fort Worth & Denver City Railway ( a CB&Q subsidiary ) becoming FW&DC 919, rebuilt at Childress with a steel underframe, steel sheathing, and a distinctive Pullman rear platform railing, and named TEXLAND. The car was sold back to the CB&Q in 1943, reassuming number 95. In 1958 number 95 succeeded former 97 in maintenance of way service as an outfit car for one of the system's two rail detector cars. Renumbered 251163, it was repainted aluminum about 1969. It survived the BN merger and was still in use as a bunk car as late as 1982. It was retired by the BN in 1984 and dismantled. |
