To all:

I was fortunate and honored to receive many years of Burlington Bulletins and 
Zephyrs from the son of a BRHS member who passed away several years ago.  I 
love this material.  As I was reading The Zephyr issue 1-98 No. 37 I happened 
upon an article about the 4978.  The Zephyr contained a very nice fold out 
spread with color photographs of the move to Mendota.

There are several photographs of the train that pulled 4978 to it destination.  
The train consisted of BNSF GP28M 1527, a TTX flat car, 4978, another TTX flat 
car, and a waycar.  Why did they place the 4978 between two empty flat cars?  I 
read the text but didn't find explanation.  However, I could be missing 
something.
