gold with red, black and white Burlington Route logo.
Lettering is in black and it runs on black Bettendorf trucks.
In 1966, the CB&Q was awarded the Railway Progress Institute’s
“Golden Freight Car Award” for promotion of railroad freight traffic.
At the time, the Q’s Havelock, Nebraska shop was rebuilding class
XM-32 boxcars, so to commemorate the award, the railroad painted
one day’s output (eight cars) in this scheme.
