I just don't like the Stupid Patched ones. A Red & Sylver C40-8W with the BNSF patch looks so stupid!

Great shot! What was the camera & set-up?

Reply Anonymous Member sinceApril 2003 305,205 posts Posted by Anonymous on Saturday, June 18, 2005 4:33 AM Nice photo, but I think that the BNSF came up way short with the new logo. In an official press release, Burlington Northern Santa Fe Railway officially changed its name to BNSF Railway. (kinda like CSX.) Basically got rid of the words behind the acronym. Seems everybody is running from their heritage. Kinda sad really.

Seems everybody is running from their heritage. Kinda sad really. Not only that like the Union Pacific Railroad. I think that UP would be better as UP Railway instead of Union Pacific Railroad. "UP Railway" sounds kind of neat. BNSF Railway. CSXT Railway. NS Railway. UP Railway.

If so, then I'm with you. Regardless, your photo of the new BNSF was great--you should really consider submitting it. Do you happen to know how that train was sent west-- Thru Rochelle, or thru Mendota, or some other way? If you like to talk, give me a call. I live in Rogers Park and am in white pages.

The Power was AC4400CW,ES44AC CTE, and a SD70MAC DPU. I WANT TO SEE A NEWER LOGO. Oh well better luck next time. But at least I finaly got to see a BNSF Train[^]. BNSFrailfan.

I have been waiting forever to see that unit. It passes through Rochelle quite often, and that is a branch of the BNSF Fast Track, the line that Naperville is on.

Well, I will keep on trying until I succeed. Eolafan (a.k.a. Jim) Reply Green Bay Paddlers Member sinceJuly 2002 From: Green Bay, WI 197 posts Posted by Green Bay Paddlers on Saturday, June 18, 2005 6:48 PM Hey Eolafan - where do you camp out at the Eola yard? Just curious - I've been through there before but struggled to find a great railfanning spot. Feel free to email me privately if you don't want to advertise... Reply Anonymous Member sinceApril 2003 305,205 posts Posted by Anonymous on Saturday, June 18, 2005 9:36 PM A good spot to fan - at least the last time I was there was at Mc Clure Rd. Its at the West end of the Eola Yard, near the yard office. There space to park and a public grade crossing to photograph trains. Not a super-photogenic spot, but open and legal.

The Race Track already changed their Metra schedules to BNSF Railway.
