Burlington Northern at Brookfield IL. 08/1994 Part 1

Here we see the racetrack in action. Back the way I liked it with tons of Casade Green units!
In part 3 we end our day in Franklin Park IL. watching a Wisconsin Central transfer pull into
IHB's Norpaul yard. a scene you cannot shoot today! As both the WC and the tracks here
are gone!

@BNSF9250 thanks! I still see older units on BNSF. At least thats worth seeing.

[BNSF9250]

@BNSF2184 if it helps i understand how you feel .

[BNSF9250]

@BNSF2184 its just how modern day railroading is man.

@BNSF9250

I just dont get how the two best RRs ever merged to create the worst....

[BNSF9250]

@BNSF2184 BNSF isnt that bad , its just diffrent. both BN and ATSF were cool railways. they may not be using old locomotives . but BN and ATSF would have got new paintschemes and gevos anyway
