[CBQ] Re: Engineering vehicles

["Gerald Edgar" <vje68@hotmail.com>]

The Burlington had a pretty good sized fleet of highway trucks ranging from 
conventional pickups to crew cabs to big highway cranes.  Most were in the dark 
green with 2 or 3 color heralds on doors.  I have slides of several.  BN 
repainted them orange but green could still be found into the late 70's.  I 
have a list at home giving the quantity of such trucks.  More and more came 
into service in the 60's as Bunk & Tool cars and wreck trains were being 
replaced in favor of highway vehicles.
