Subject: Re: [CBQ] Burlington & Missouri River Railroad caboose Alan - GREAT to have you as a new BRHS member! Welcome aboard (I retired out of the maritime world). My late father M.L. Zadnichek was a CB&Q Division Superintendent. I well remember the wood way cars (Dad always called them "crummies.") I can only speculate, but since the A&N had the way car constructed by the B&MR, I'm virtually positive that they would've taken possession of a clone to a B&MR way car of that era. In fact, it just might've been that the A&N got a newly constructed B&MR way car straight out of the shops. All the A&N had to do was paint their logo or lettering and road number on the sides and put it to work. For that reason, it's quite likely your way car originally had the corner pockets. Once you get to restoring the interior, you can closely check for signs of those long removed pockets. Since you now have a lot more data on the way car's history including photographs, why not combine that with the amazing story and photographs you have about the car's journey to its new home. Write all that up and give it to Dave Lotz who edits the Zephyr. It would be a good read - Louis
