Caboose Of Memories
Title:  Caboose Of Memories
Description:  BN (ex-GN) X71 always makes me remember cabooses just like it that I saw on BN trains passing through Wayzata, MN, during the mid-1980s. They vanished all too soon, but quite a few remain today, serving up nostalgia whenever I see one.

BN Air Car 90
Title:  BN Air Car 90
Description:  Burlingtnn Northern Railroad Air Car 90 at Saint Louis, Missouri on May 19, 1982, Kodachrome by Chuck Zeiler. The COTS stcker indicates that the flat car was built in 3-29. Stenciled on the large box was the following: THIS CAR FOR USE AT ACBL NORTH ST. LOUIS COAL UNLOADING FACILITY, ONLY . I believe ACBL meant American Container Barge Company, and they had a rail to barge coal tranqfer facility in North Saint Louis. I have not found the purpose of this car, presumably this car was used to keep the air brakes charged as the unloading took place. -If anyone knows more, please leave a comment.

BN Air Car 90

I have not found the purpose of this car. It may have been used to keep the air brakes charged on unit coal trains at a rail-to-barge unloading facility in Saint Louis.

BN RCC108 -  West Colton Yard, Bloomington, CA - 6/22/77
Title:  BN RCC108 - West Colton Yard, Bloomington, CA - 6/22/77
Description:  The "flying saucer" lighting pinpoints this as Southern Pacifics West Colton Yard, even though these Radio Control Cars are clearly painted in Burlington Northern colors. In the late 1970s the SP tested several of the BNs remote helper control, with a small batch of BN SD40-2s and RCU/RCC cars working out of southern California. Laying over at West Colton Yard are BN RCC 108 (ex-BN F7B 661, originally Great Northern 448B) and RCU 109 (ex-BN F3B 701, ex-Northern Pacific 6000B, nee-NP 6011B). These units added a nice touch of color to the southern California rail scene at the time.
