an odd lumber door CB&Q style in 1923

While in the foreground is a shiny B&O 2-8-8-0, in the background by the front of the locomotive is single sheathed boxcar CB&Q 1308 and I think a 5.  The lumber door has a frame that extends out beyond the end of the roof:

Thanks!

I love zerohedge---wish they offered more vintage steam articles though...   I would be keen to see the CB&Q pic.

Thanks for the link to the photo. I think there’s another number after the “5” – the only 13085 was built before 1885 and was off the roster by 1912!.  This was a XM-21, 40’ I.L. numbered 130251-131250, built by Bettendorf in 1916. The lumber door measured 2’ x 1’ 6”.

I don't see anything so unusual about it. It might extend past the end of the roof, but so do the end posts in this car. It's arranged to slide down in tracks that make use of the outer flanges of the 4" Z posts, with a little "roof" over the tops of the posts to close the opening. The Soo Line used a lumber door that was almost the same, but the tracks mounted to the Z's held the door closer to the end sheathing.
