Good question.... are "Boarding Cars" the same as "Drovers Waycars"?
White's Freight Car book has a drawing of a Burlington Boarding Car which
looks like a Coach with a cupola..... I know that the Drover's Waycars were
standard four window Waycars, but with windows on the ends and additional
bunks to accomodate more bodies.
