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.
