Gerald, Archie, and Verlin,
 
Thank you for your information. We knew it was built in the first decade,  
but didn't know what year. Also, it was assumed that it was built at Aurora, 
but  not confirmed.
 
I knew that BN engines were painted "Cascade Green", but didn't know if  
other greens were used for other equipment.
 
This waycar is currently in BN livery. Stencils on the car indicate that  
the work was done in Dec, 1970.
It was sold at auction to benefit (PBS-TV) WTTW-Channel 11, Chicago, in  
early 1971. It was bought by Brooks McCormick, CEO of International Harvester  
and moved to his property in June, 1971.
(I'm thinking that his lawyer's offices were in Prospect  Heights.) 
A newspaper clipping from The Beacon News (Aurora) dated June 3, 1971,  
shows the waycar being moved on dollies down Winfield Road to it's new home at  
St. James Farm, Warrenville, IL. "Caboose Had Green Light" was the 
headline. It  is in BN livery in the photo and numbered 14351.
 
I see that the Friends of the BN website list the number as (11087). With  
the numbers in parenthesis, I wonder if that means that the number  was 
assigned, but never applied.
 
St James Farm was private property, but is now open free to the public. Ask 
 for the Manager, my nephew Wayne.
 
If anyone want to see her, the correct address is:
St James Farm
27w376 Hoy Ave
Warrenville, IL 60555

Larry,

The green was called Cascade green which is = (give or  take a few FS #'s) 
to John Deere Green.
The ends where  Safety Yellow, roofs where Silver ( later changed to 
Cascade Green), Logo and  lettering was White.
Hope this helps.

Lewistown, Il.

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
