The Badger arrives at Brook Park to let off a couple passengers on its run from St. Paul (via Minneapolis) to Superior, WI. The GN sky blue Geep, one of two equipped for passenger service has been renumbered ton BN, but has kept its GN logo and lettering 3 months into the merger. The train will survive another 11 months before Amtrak takes over and drops it. Passengers for Duluth will have to ride a bus from Superior at this point. The RPO is not functional, carrying only baggage. The blue coach is x-CNW, the fluted one, either x-Frisco or Katy.
Not
just heritage schemes, not just commemorative schemes - this album is devoted to some of the world's most interesting paint schemes, past or present.
Although BN spent just 14 months as a passenger carrier, it maintained the high standards of Burlington's Denver Zephyr, Great Northern's Empire Builder and Northern Pacific's North Coast Limited.
