RBBQ Class RBL-5 77161 |
| Description: |
RBBQ Class RBL-5 77161 at Cicero, Illinois on an unknown day in June 1981, Kodachrome by Chuck Zeiler. This car is stenciled NEW 8.67 and BLT. 8.67 HV, indicating it was built in the CB&Q shops in Havelock, Nebraska in August 1967, and had not been re-weighed since it was built. This was one of 150 cars built during July and August 1967, road numbers 77100 - 77249. The differed from the previous batch of RBL class cars in the improved door handle on the Camel plug door, and the lack of roofwalks and full height ladders to reach the roof. The ICC banned the roofwalk and associated ladders on new cars built after January 1, 1967. As a result, the new cars' handbrakes were also positioned low on the end of the car. The herald was also positioned slightly different between the two series of cars. |
