Dave Sarther....I've looked at the photos you referred to regarding flags 
etc...This photo is obviously of a waycar restored for museum or like displays 
and the flags were placed "just for show"...not to be representative of what 
would "normally" be found in a working car.


Personally I never saw either green or white flags as part of a flagging kit or 
kept with waycar flagging equipment...As you mentioned the white flags were 
used along with white classification lights on locomotives to indicate that the 
train was an extra...The use of white flags was discontinued by most railroads 
sometime in the 1950's and only white lights were used for that purpose..day or 
night...Green flags were used along with green classification lights to 
indicate that there were additional sections of a schedule to follow.  Green 
flags were still in use in the fifties.


As someone mentioned the red flag was an essential piece of flagging equipment 
along with torpedoes and fusees..The number required to be carried by a flagman 
was specified in the rule book by each carrier.  A red light (lantern) was also 
required at night, but its seems to have been less important in the later 
times....I've seen some rulebooks which required only  xx number of fuessees 
and  xx number of torpedoes and a white light.


As to the kind of seats in the cupola..Charlie V. answered that one 
correctly...The seats were "walkover"....In the later days of waycar use some 
lines even equipped waycar seats with seatbelts.

Yes...I'll have to dig out my Waycar book and see what the picture shows and 
I'll get back to you on that one...Thanks for reminding me...I tend to "park" 
requests and then forget about them...


I'm "home alone" today and it's very cold here and I'm sitting by the fire 
right across from my bookshelves. so I'll get at this "directly"  as my 
grandmother used to say...Maybe even today.


Pete

Thanks for the update/clarification re Ong, NE.
 
Did my request for information about CB&Q waycar interior details get through 
to you?
 
 

"Pete,
 
I am building one of Glenn Guerra's fine O-Scale waycar kits to P:48 standards. 
 I am trying to do something of a representative interior based on photos from 
Randy Daniel's  Burlington Waycar Book.   I have two questions.
 
On pages 241 and 245 there are interior photos showing some flags in the rear 
corner, one red, one green and two white.   Were the white flags used to 
indicate an "extra" just like passenger trains?  Would they have been displayed 
off the rear porch of the waycar during operation? 
 
In a waycar cupola would the crew seats have faced in opposite directions 
during normal operation?  The seat on the engineer's side facing forward and 
the seat on the fireman's side facing to the rear?"
 
Thanks,  Dave Sarther

No doubt about it...This is, indeed, Ong...I passed this depot 12 times each 
week for 6 weeks in 1958...If you have Al Holck's  "Hub of Burlington Lines 
West photo on page 265 shows what it look like in 1966.


Believe it or not there was a full time Agent (5 days/week) on duty there in 
'58.  Agent's wife was a partner with another woman as proprietresses of the 
OWL CAFE at Schickley where we "dined" Monday-Wednesday and Friday evenings 
going west on the Fairmont-Hildreth Local

Could this possibly be the CB&Q depot in Ong, NE?  Looks similar to the one in 
Morrowville, KS.


Thanks,
Brian
