when i was typing this title, i was pacing back and fourth to decide if i should say BNSF or Burlington Northern Santa Fe. but it seems like they want to be simply BNSF now. oh well. discuss BNSF here!
that being said, has anyone ever fanned in Alma, WI? it’s along the mississippi river and has a catwalk giving you a great view of the track. BNSF comes through at unbelievably high speeds and you can get so close to the trains! oh man it is AWESOME! lots of intermodals though. and manifests. the manifests are usually pulled by patched BN units. and it’s always a full BNSF crash 9 pulling the intermodals. but i tell ya. it is an awesome feeling to see these trains go by at such high speeds. the wind they cause. i love it!
and let me also take this time to say that i love BNSF’s patches. they dont disrupt or ruin the look of the locomotive itself. and they still look great. especially the BN ones. still the great green and white.
