| Description: |
CB&Q Class XA-12A diagram, issued May 1945, Chuck Zeiler collection. There is some conflicting information about this diagram. This is Drawing A-8, the index indicates that Drawing A-8 is for Class XA-13 for 200 cars in the 40000-40199 number series, built in 1930 by Pressed Steel Car Company, 40'6" inside length, 100M (50 ton) capacity. The index also indicates that Drawing A-7 is for 300 cars, Class XA-12, in the 40200-40499 number series, also built by Pressed Steel in 1930, 40'6" inside length, 100M capacity. This drawing is a revision, and indicates the car(s) depicted were equipped with Evans Auto Loaders, likely the explanation for the A suffix on the class designation. Trucks on both classes were #53. The Class XA-13 cars were equipped with end doors. |
