CGW 5

Presenting the premier offering from Mike Porter's Oelwein Shops!

CGW 5289, the "C" car, was one of only 15 cars equipped with "compartmentizer" loading devices.
These cars were built in July, 1951 by Pullman Standard, and were rated at 50 tons capacity.
The compartmentizer equipment was installed by the Darby Corp. of Kansas City, KS in July, 1954
and was removed in August, 1964. Although released into general service, this car continued to
wear the large "C" well into the mid 70s. This car was dismantled in 1977.

CGW 5464, the "QL" car, the only CGW boxcar to carry these markings, was also built by
Pullman Standard in 1951, and was also rated at 50 tons. The Evans "quick loader" was installed in July, 1959
and was removed in October of 1962. With the specialized loading device removed, the car returned to general service,
but it continued to wear the large "QL" lettering until it was destroyed in a derailment in July, 1974.
