Waycar 10710

Burlington Northern (BN) waycar 10710 is one of hundreds of cabooses that roamed the former CB&Q (Chicago Burlington & Quincy, the "Burlington Route" or simply the "Q") and other railroads in the BN family. She is BN all the way, built in January 1972, over a year after the 1970 creation of Burlington Northern.
