[quote]QUOTE: <i>Originally posted by zgardner18</i> <br /><br />Now I have seen more than 737s on the trains that run through Montana on their way to Seattle, but then again, they could have been different series: like 737-800 or 737-600. Am I right to say that the 737 has different sizes? In the airliner magazines on the planes when it shows in the back pictures of the fleets, they show different size of 737s. But does the railroad ship other airplanes besides the 737? <br />[/quote] <br /> <br />737's are the only ones moved by rail. The 757/767/777 are Seattle built. Yes the 737 comes in different models -600 is the shortest, -700 is a little longer, -800 is even a little longer and most popular, and the -900 is the longest. Would be difficult to decifer them on the railcar unless you work around them (as I do) everyday. The -200, -300, -400, -500 are out of production. The -600 thru -900 are called Next Generation or NextGen due to the upgraded avionics (glass cockpit) compared to the old analog (dials and guages) cockpit in the -200 thru -500 models. <br /> <br />I model the aircraft parts car made by LBF. The Spirit plant here in Tulsa (used to be Boeing) makes 757/737 wing assemblies and ships them to Renton for final assemby with the fuselage that Wichita makes. <br /> <br />Mike in Tulsa <br />BNSF Cherokee Sub
