Introducing the Doodlebug, one of our active projects at Jackson Street Roundhouse! CB&Q 9735 was built in 1929 by Pullman and EMC and acquired by MTM in 1984. Pullman fabricated the car body, whereas EMC added the electrical and mechanical components. This type of car is often referred to as a Doodlebug. This refers to a type of self-propelled railcar which would commonly carry both passengers and freight. Most Doodlebugs have a steam locomotive-style headlight and marker lights, which is a very interesting feature. After some work had been done to this Doodlebug, such as receiving a Lima-Hamilton diesel engine, it spent most of the 50s and 60s in various towns in Illinois. While many Doodlebugs have passenger seating, 9735 never did. Its entire interior is devoted to baggage and mail. In this video, you can see 9735 being moved on our turntable at Jackson Street Roundhouse, and this is because our volunteers are beginning restoration work on this car! Are you interested in getting your hands on this train car and playing a role in the preservation of history? Send an email to [email protected] to learn more about volunteering!
