And now, the end of GM408...
Another lease fleet car is FURX 845366. FURX are the reporting marks of First Union Leasing.A second string of grey hoppers, this time FURX cars, in the train. These are all former Canadian National NSC-built cars.There are also cars owned by the Arkansas-Oklahoma RR, as seen here.
More AOK hoppers.
The tail end of GM408 is BNSF hoppers, including this older PS 4740 hopper, with the original "cross-circle" logo.
BNSF 471745 also has the cross-circle logo, but much larger. This was a nod the the Santa Fe's identical logo.
BNSF 481396 has the new "Swoosh" logo. Adopted in 2005, it also accompanied an official change in the railroad's name; from Burlington Northern Santa Fe to simply BNSF.
More BNSF hoppers.
Another BNSF car with the "Swoosh" logo, but this one is an older FMC car.
BNSF 402021 is a smaller ACF 4650 hopper, most of the other cars in the train are 4750 cuft or larger. The similar-looking FURX NSC cars are 5150 cuft, while most of 402021's sisters are Trinity 5161 cuft cars.
BNSF 432380, yet another FMC car -but with the original circle-cross logo- brings up the markers on GM408, as it rolls on to Baltimore. Specifically the Port of Baltimore, as this is a train of export grain bound for Africa.
