This 40 feet Brown Van trailer was found at Gunnison, Colorado on Rio Grande Ave. Barely read stencil shows this van trailer as Burlington Truck Lines (20)6803: number plate on end shows 6803, and 206803 is marked on both sides of the corner.

Burlington Truck Lines CBQZ 6800 – 6999 series Van Trailers
The Official Railway Equipment Register (ORER) for Oct 1968 shows the group with 193 cars of possible 200 in place, described as follows:

Description “Trailers, Closed Van”. The inside length of these cars is 39 feet 6 inches, inside width 7 feet 8½ inches, inside height 7 feet 10 inches, outside length 40 feet, extreme height 12 feet 6 inches and capacity 2385 cubic feet.

By 1976, they were renumbered or retired: the Official Intermodal Equipment Register for Feb 1976 shows none of them.

Trainworx produces HO scale models of this series of trailers[1]. According to the Trainworx description, these trailers were built in 1964.
