The 14042, like all the CB&Q NE waycars with side doors, were rather recent 
conversions (1950-1960 era).

I don't know all the reasons, but the CB&Q had such cars built with side doors 
in the 1880s and earlier; they disappeared at some point (converted to regular 
non-side door configuration).   Many of the 28' 3 window cars were built with 
side doors.   

Perhaps the traffic on lines that would have been able to use such cars 
exceeded their small passenger-carrying capacity and a regular combine was 
necessary until the end when a waycar could handle the small amount of 
passengers and LCL traffic.
