Dave - I do not have any images showing way car 14151 in BN green, but I
can contribute one of 13949 taken at Eola, IL, in September 1969. Does anyone
know when the Q started painting way cars green in anticipation of the BN merger
and how many way cars were painted? Best Regards - Louis

Hol,
Yes, please do post additional photos of waycar
#14151. It will be great to have photos from different parts of
its operating life.
Waycar #14151 had a very interesting life. Built as a
class NE-1 30' waycar at Plattsmouth in April,1889 for the
BMR. Became CB&Q #14151 in ????. The car
was transferred to the BN and renumbered as # 11030. It
was finally sold to a private owner in September 1976.
Does anyone have a photo of #14151 in BN green as #11030
that they would be willing to share with the group? That would complete
the cycle. Does anyone know if the waycar still exists?
Where?
Later, Dave Sarther Tucson,

To: cbq@yahoogroups.com The 14151, it should be noted, was
equipped with a side door on each side and with the Allied full cushion trucks
removed from NE-10 13554, all at Havelock in April 1963. That is, the
trucks were changed at the same time the side doors were added. Both
were done so the car could be assigned to mixed train service between
Sterling, Colo., and Cheyenne, Wyo. If anyone is interested, I can post
photos of both waycars with the Allied trucks.

Rupert: I have an original of the Corbin
slide (he shot half a dozen or more and traded the extras), taken on May 30,
1959, and I've attached a scan. I recall he did say that another was
painted at the same time, and obviously it was the 13966, coupled to the
14151. He also noted that they made a mistake in painting the stove
exhaust stacks red and that they were soon repainted with high temperature
resistant aluminum paint. The "paint shop" at Lincoln, as at most other
locations at the time, was simply a spot on the rip track, and cars were
repainted out in the open. Havelock did, of course, have an inside paint
shop, but simple repaints were done on rip tracks all across the system.

The photo
was on eBay and shows 14151 coupled to another newly painted car which I think
is 13366, suggesting that they have both just left the paint
shop.

Ken, Rupert and
all:
Corbin told me the 14151 was supposedly the first waycar to
have been repainted Chinese
red.

I don’t
have anything specific about the change to Chinese red for way cars, but
plenty has been said in the past about the use of that paint during 1958 and
none of it related to waycars. It could be, of course, that no-one has asked
the question before!
The earliest Chinese red photo I’ve found is of
14151 looking very newly painted in 1959.

I have been studying Randall
Danniel's books on CB&Q waycars (especially the 28-foot and 30-foot wooden
cars) in hopes of building some models, but have come up with a few questions
that I cannot answer totally from the books:
Did the waycar paint scheme
shift from mineral red to Chinese red about 1958, in about the same time frame
as freight cars? Is that the same time the lettering style changed from
Railroad Roman to the more Gothic style?
It looks to me like the more
common herald was the rectangle without the black background, but some heralds
seem to have a black background. Was this something that was changed at a
particular time, or was this at the whim of the paint
shops?
