Re: [CBQ] Photo of First BN Train 3/3/70 needed by Friends of BN

["Tristan via Groups.Io" <tristan556=aol.com@groups.io>]

There is one picture floating around on the internet.  BN 2072, 2073, 2074 (straight GP38 that were a former SP&S order)

It shows a caption of somewhere ne as r Minot but no credits to the original.  I want to say that the Morning Sun books have a shot as well.

Subject: [CBQ] Photo of First BN Train 3/3/70 needed by Friends of BN

The Friends of the Burlington Northern is looking for a photo to be used in an upcoming publication of theirs. See request below.

Can anyone help out ? Let me know.

"Is there any chance one of you Q guys managed to get a photo of the first BN freight train on March 3, 1970.  It left Cicero for Seattle that day with three brand new GP38-2s in Cascade Green on the point.  Assuming it is a decent quality photo it is a shoe in for the cover of the next issue of The BN Expediter which is celebrating the 50th anniversary of the BN merger.

Thanks,

Leo Phillipp
