Re: [CBQ] CB&Q Waycar Assignments

Leo and John,

 

Thanks for your replies to my question about waycar assignments.  To date I have found a few photos documenting specific waycars at Oregon, IL.  I will continue to search for more photos at that location or nearby locations along that line from the 1950' and 60's.  To date I have found some photos on line of waycars from that era between Chicago and Aurora, for example at Naperville, but there is no way to tell if the train was headed towards the Twin Cities or coming from the Twin Cities or Lines West to Denver.

 

 I will also begin a search for train consists from that time period.  Any suggestions where to look?

 

Later,  Dave S.     Tucson, AZ

If you get any consists, they will show waycars for that train.

Dave

Neither registers or time slips required w/c #s.

About the only place I can think of for w/c #s is time slips which would show the assigned w/c # and the replacement car. What's a w/c change and details is a whole separate subject. Even the time book didn't have adopt for a w/c #

Photos will of course reveal car #s

Periodically we find "locomotive assignment" sheets in CB&Q books or as a supplement in a BRHS Zephyr. These are valuable documents and tools for modelers of a specific era and location. Are there any such documents for waycars? I'm hoping to find records that would indicate if specific waycars were assigned to specific divisions or sub-divisions and if they were what waycars, numbers, served in a given division or subdivision for a specified time period. Would train sheets be of any help here? Any leads or help would be greatly appreciated. I am especially interested in collecting information on waycars that could have been found between Chicago, Aurora, Oregon, IL and the Twin Cities during the 50's and 60's. If you served in this region and can recall a waycar number(s)and about what year you rode it please share the information.

The information generated by my earlier question about what equipment could be found inside waycars proved to be very enlightening for me and produced some knowledge that I had not even considered before posting the question. So now I'm trying to expand my knowledge base regarding CB&Q Waycars and produce more accurate models for the era and area that I model by expanding my data base.

Thanks, Dave S. Tucson, AZ
