The Burlington's only bay window waycar was #14700, converted in 1959 from
wrecked XM-26 boxcar #16847. It was renumbered to BN 11274 and painted
green, and retired in 1972.
The FW&D had one - #82 (2nd) - a rebuild of conventional waycar #82 that had
been destroyed in a fire in 1967. The rebuild used truck doors as part of
the bay, and windows from an E-5 and an F-7. It apparently survived until
1983
