Re: [CBQ] BN Waycar Color (1970)

[archie hayden <kliner@mywdo.com>]

Larry,  The waycar book lists this car as Aurora built in 1906 and  
numbered as BN 11087 at the merger.  It was donated to a cause in Jan  
of 1971 and auctioned off by television  station WTTW in Chicago in  
1977 to a private individual in Prospects Heights, Il.  It may have  
never worn the green which I always heard was called Cascade green.   
Hope this helps,  Archie Hayden
