I get to play with BNSF motors and cars so I love them too ( thay actually pay me to do this?!?!) We also hate the UP ( I said leave 6 track open you , insert best old head railroad language here, dont you listen???!!!) I really wi***hey hadnt bought the Santa Fe. But they werent making it on intermodal alone so someone had to bail them out! I think SF SP or whatever combo they had would have been an awsome railroad today. Think about Rob Krebs owning the entire West Coast !! UP wouldnt have stood a chance!
C&NW should have been liqudated int he late 60's like the government tried to do.But hey I cant lie thm as I am a Rock Island guy through and through. I may work with GN colored motors but I bleed a mix of blue white red yellow black red maroon ( did I miss a color?) !!

Yes we are on time but this is yesterdays train

I have some BNSF locos, but I don't model that particular railroad. My model railroads is supposed to connect with them, though.

Ain't that the truth. I wouldn't have to go very far just too see the BNSF.

Mine is the S.P. I still think BNSF should have bought the S.P. insted of The UP.Does any one agree with me??BNSF is my second favorite R.R.[^][2c]
