Subject: [CBQ] Waycar 13575

 

A couple of months ago there was a short discussion about NE-12A waycar 13575 which featured in an eBay auction. https://www.ebay.com/itm/CB-Q-13575-BURLINGTON-CABOOSE-duplicate-RAILROAD-35-MM-Slide/352966194100?hash=item522e6cb3b4:g:zikAAOSwG11eOaC4 The query was about the cables leading from the cupola.

I’ve found a piece from 1961 about a new design REA Express refrigerated trailer which was tested on the Burlington on fast mail-express-piggyback train no. 14, with a new NE-12A waycar (possibly 13585) coupled to it. The waycar carried various observers and equipment to test the nitrogen consumption and temperatures in the trailer, which would have required cables or piping between the trailer and the waycar. There is no indication as to how many times the trailers were tested but could 13575 have been used for a similar purpose?
