[CBQ] Waycar Equipment List

[<milepost206@mchsi.com>]

A waycar/caboose equipment list can be found on page 635 of The Burlington 
Waycars.
The two photos on pages 241 and 245 represent a 'flagging bag' more oftern 
found at the side of a passenger train crew.

In later years, you were lucky to find any flags in a waycar and the only one 
conductor's considered a no-go was the red flag, along with fusees and some 
torpedoes. Many a train crew carried a couple of fusees and a couple of 
torpedoes in their grips just to be sure they had the most important emergency 
items.

Some conductors carried their own 'flaggin bag' on freight trains and protected 
it - "Don't touch my bag!" -  like there was some magic elixir in it. And there 
usually was.....
