The Chicago, Burlington, and Quincy's wooden waycars were as iconic to the "Q" as steel bay window cabooses were to the Milwaukee. #14534 was stored at United Sugars in Chaska for years until the Union Pacific's (precipitous, in my opinion) abandonment of their line to United Sugars meant this waycar and a few other GSRM museum pieces needed to be trucked to the museum at New Prague as soon as could be arranged. If you want to help give 14534 and her mates shelter, donate to GSRM via www.GSRM.org |
