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

Bryan,

I heard from a friend this afternoon that is a Frisco modeler that BNSF doing to make sure their retain legal rights to the heralds. They already have at least three Frisco and three GN hoppers lettered. So it sounds much like what the UP has been doing for some time.

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!

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?
