QUOTE: Originally posted by ericsp Has anyone else noticed the smell of BNSF intermodal trains? I have not noticed it on other BNSF trains or on UP trains. It smells similar to the grease used on heavy equipment used in the construction industry. I wonder if BNSF uses a different grease on the bearings of intermodal cars than on other cars. If so, I am assuming it is manufacturer approved.
