Chicago, Rock Island & Pacific Derrick Boom Car #95016
CRIP derrick boom car #95016 was probably built in 1905, as that is the date on the truck bolsters. It is a wood car for housing the derrick boom, and for carrying various spare parts and tools. It has fishbelly center and side sills. The vertical brake shaft has a handle instead of a wheel. The boom car, like its mates, was purchased from Reader Railroad, Reader, Arkansas. It is painted gray and has black markings and a Rock Island herald.
