That was certainly the reason for the last two conversions, the 14560 in 
1959 for the Edgemont-Deadwood mixed and the 14151 in 1963 for the 
Sterling-Cheyenne mixed.  The 14560 was owned for a time in the 1970s by 
Gerald Edgar.

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.
