Subject: [CBQ] Burlington & Missouri River Railroad caboose
I am the proud owner of Burlington & Missouri River Railroad caboose #23. As you probably know, the Burlington & Missouri River Railroad was a subsidiary of the CB&Q. The caboose was later lettered for the CB&Q (#14120) and even later the Burlington
Northern (#11025). It was built in 1880 and retired by the BN in 1977. The waycar needs a new coat of paint and I thought I would letter it for the Burlington and Missouri River. I'm wondering if there are any photographs of Burlington and Missouri River
rolling stock so I could see how it was lettered....i.e. B&MR, B&MR RR, etc. and the lettering type. Also, I assume their cabooses were red but I'm not sure. I'm hoping someone can help me.
The caboose was donated to the city of Maitland, MO when it was retired. A couple fellas from Boulder, CO purchased it and moved to Bouilder. I purchased it from them and moved it to western Colorado.
