Cinder Dick - Railroad Police/Agent
Also, driving though the yard today and noticed one of the 60 plus foot tank
cars used as a company fuel transport still wearing the BURLINGTON name and
Burlington Route hearld on the side. The markings were faded, but still easy
to spot.
Yesterday, we learned about air brakes on cars. Our demonstrator was an old
ballast hopper. The hopper was labeled for BN, but there was CB&Q stampings on
the sides of the trucks. Built in 1967.
Bill Barber, thank you for the encouragement. As for a grip, I already have
one on order.
