The CB&Q had a large fleet of Waycars, homebuilt all the way to the Evans produced. Many of these Waycars lasted to the modern era wearing a coat of Cascade Green (and graffitti depending on the location). So post pictures of Waycars you have seen.
If it is a picture from the CB&Q or early BN era, tell us when and where.
If it is a restored Waycar, let us know where it is, the condition etc so other members can check it out.
And if it still sees service, see how well your investigation skills are and tell us where you saw it. Remember not just the BNSF have these Waycars, some have been seen with a coat of blue paint:teeth:
To start this thread off, I give you.....

CB&Q Waycar #1350 is on the Museum grounds at Galesburg IL and is in good shape. This picture was taken in June of 1998 during Tina and I's honeymoon. This was one of the most comon types of Waycars from the Q. This type of Waycar carried colors such as red, yellow and even a pre-merger green as well as the silver you see here.
