TRAIN GM47 PT2

Last week, the motive power. This week, the train...

Two of the AP-marked AP&W hoppers in the train. The light pole is the "before-and-after" between the car on the right, which has painted wheelsets, and the car on the left, which still does not -but does have graffiti.

If it's a grain train, it has BNSF hoppers in it; this car is representative of most of them in the train.

A GATX car, just to be different.

Another BNSF car, this one an older hopper.

The final car is also a BNSF hopper, not only an older car, but an older paint scheme as well. This was the original BNSF look after the 1996 BN-SF merger.

The EOT flashes at the end of the train. While far cheaper to operate than a caboose. the effect is just not the same!
