Groups 4 and 5 arrived after the merger. Group 4 was ordered by the Q, but delivered after the merger. WSMTD/BNSF still has 741-751, 753-780 and 782-787.

The apparent confusion at Rapido got me to thinking...

From my personal observations, there are five types of Burlington
gallery cars.

1: name board, no toilet, no cab, starting with 700.
2: name board, toilet, no cab, ending with 787. (I have never seen a 788
3: name board, toilet, cab, 790-795. (no photo found on rrpicturearchives)
4: no name board, toilet, cab, 796-815.
blanked)
5: no name board, toilet, no cab, 816-820.

I believe types 1 and 2 were ordered in alternating lots, but I don't
have ready access to my notes detailing which numbers are which types.

I believe Metra has purged all of type 1.

Metra has removed the cabs from all type 3 and 4 cars, plating over the
end and side windows.

In my mind, types 4 and 5 are "BN cars," but I don't know when they were
actually ordered. I assume they were bought by WSMTD rather than the
railroad itself.

All cars with toilets are oriented with the toilet in the southwest
corner. This was the biggest flaw with the Holgate & Reynolds and Kiel
(Keil?) Line models: they had the toilet in the wrong place so it would
be the northwest corner.

In all groups, underbody details changed over time, first with 480V HEP
replacing the propane air conditioners, and I think the HEP connectors
were modified when the E9s were retired. And of course the big  BN logo
boards were added below the windows, etc.

After type 5 come the various orders of "RTA cars" which look different
and have 4-digit numbers.

Do I have all of this right?
