Re: [CBQ] BNSF covered hopper with Burlington Route herald

I have not seen the car yet, but I did hear that BNSF has been applying logos of predecessor roads to hopper cars.  So far I have heard that there are 1 or 2 cars with the GN 'Rocky' logo.  I figured it was only a matter of time before the Q appeared on a car.  I am not sure if BNSF is doing this as their response to UP/NS Heritage units or how UP is reusing older reporting marks to keep the copyrights current.  Hopefully photos will surface soon!

Subject: [CBQ] BNSF covered hopper with Burlington Route herald

 

Yesterday I was watching a BNSF freight train go by at a crossing near
Kansas City. To my surprise came by a freshly painted cream colored
Grain Hopper with black BNSF car number lettering and a large fresh
Burlington Route herald on the right side of the car. Unfortunately, I
did not have my camera at the time.

Anyone else seen or know the story of this car?
