    For those of you who are making the pilgrimage to Galesburg this year, I have just been informed that a new car has been added to the BNSF excursion out to Yates City and back. The BNSF has added the diner "Lake Superior" which adds an additional 45 seats to the train! Of course these seats are the $35 ones. At least it adds more seating room!

    <font color="336633">this got me wondering, what happened to all of the former BN cars? did they sell them like they did the F's and E's? or been repainted into silver to match the ATSF ones?</font>

    I was told awhile back that BNSF will paint the cars to match the Santa fe cars,so the fleet will most likely be all silver soon.

    The BN cars are getting fluting to look like the SF cars, What they need now since they are modelling the SF are an ABBA set of Executive Fs. And the silver also could represent the Burlington trains too.
    I can't wait until all the Red and silver are gone. :mad:
