According
to the Directors Reports, the Burlington had a pay car between 1865 and
1877. No pay car was listed in the 1878 Report. No officers cars were
purchased that year but the number on the roster increased from 3 to 4. In
December 1878, it was announced that all employees outside Chicago would be
paid by check so perhaps the pay car was converted to an officers car as it
was no longer needed.
Although riding on way car trucks, I notice that
the car doesn’t have marker light provision at the top corner of each side, as
seen in most early way car photos.

Going through old
Emails this morning and cleaning out.... Some speculation was given that the
Civil War era car shown was an early way car. If you look closely, there are
bars on the window shown. Could this be a pay car, instead? Best Regards -
