I need some photos of BN in 74-75. I am wondering what all consists of coal cars were used right when the coal boom started, since they had to use old hoppers since they could not make new ones fast enough. (websites and links will help) Thanks.

Above is a good site, it’s a fellow named Krug who’s an engineer for the BNSF, he does a bunch of online photo essays, and the link above is one that is all about riding the helpers in the 70s, this should help a little, there are a few good pictures.
Hey thanks.
No Problem, Krug has lots of great stories on the site as well, I’ve spent hours reading through all his photo journals.
Excellent Resource.
WOW!!!, this is a great site !!!
I will be reading it for hours.
Thanks macguy for hooking us up.
You’re welcome, I’ve spent many hours there myself. [:)]
Excellent! If there were only more sites like his.
Thanks for the link,macguy,those are some great pics!
Really enjoyed them[^][:)]
Just in, I need photos from 75 too. Thanks.
