| Post subject: | MCRM gets Q waycar |
From the CB&Q list: Mid-Continent Railway Museum at North Freedom, Wis., was donated a CB&Q waycar from the estate of a deceased member. I assisted in stabilizing the car with new roofing over this past weekend, but the waycar needs some tender, loving restoration care. No. 14006 has a 28-foot body, three windows and a side door on each side, and a cupola. It is of wood construction, and is similar to cars at Colorado Railroad Museum. Restoration of the 14006 to exhibit status is a low priority right now unless somebody new takes this historic Burlington waycar under their wing. It came to the property as a camp car for its owner to stay in. It needs new platforms at both ends, some siding to be replaced, and re-installation of draft gear. Mid-Continent will be happy to accept donations toward its restoration; much better would be a party who would donate time and effort to its restoration. Mid-Continent invites BRHS members who want to help preserve a piece of Burlington history. Jim Neubauer |
