Al,
Thanks for the updates and pictures of waycar 14351 at St. James Farm.
Anyone visiting St. James Farm should ask for the Property Manager Wayne
Z. He would be more than happy to share the information that they have been
able to gather about the 14351 (at one time it was assigned to the "East
End" job) and might even give a personal tour of the interior. They are
looking for items that might have been carried inside a caboose; i.e., flags,
flares, tools, lanterns, tail lights, pots and pans, paperwork, car lists,
etc. Donations of such items would be greatly appreciated!
He would also love to learn MORE about our girl, so if anyone knows the
history of 14351 please contact him!
Also, the Chicago, Aurora and Elgin trolley use to cross the property and
even had a milk platform there. Wayne is seeking info and pictures of the
CA&E at St. James Farm.
Again, ask for Wayne Z. Be forewarned, Wayne can be long-winded!

So I took a camera along on my morning bike ride and got a few pictures of
this
car with the new paint. I posted a photo album entitled Waycar 14351 to
the
group site.
The Burlington Route herald on the car looks a bit large to me. The
handrails
and some other parts are painted black, which may not be perfectly correct
either. However, it looks a lot better than the 30+ BN green paint job it
was
in.
Apparently, the St. James Forest Preserve is open on weekdays currently,
as well
as the weekends. Drop by to visit the waycar, and be sure to check out
the rest
of the property.
