A and a B |
| Description: |
This was a fairly common combination on BN at the time, since they had the 120 B30-7A cabless units. This set approaches Hoffman Av as it heads down river with 74 cars. |

Ft Scott Sub north |
| Description: |
A through train rolls north toward Kansas City. There was not much in the area at the time I took this. You would not recognize it now, and you can hardly get to the tracks. |

Southbound |
| Description: |
A southbound BN train on the Ft Scott Sub rolls out of Kansas City, through Olathe. At Paola, the shared track with MKT will end, each road going its own way, BN toward Springfiled MO and Tuosa, MKT toward Muskogee and Texas. At the time, there was only I 35, the tracks, and a local road that ran along through Lenexa and Olathe. Its changed in 30 years! |

Pure BN |
| Description: |
The merger with Santa Fe was still news when I took these. I had to wait for dispatch after dropping a container at Clyde yard in Cicero. I hated the sitting at the time, but it was a good chance to capture a road whose image would soon fade. |

Typical trio |

Fuel tender |
| Description: |
BN, and subsequently, BNSF, have tried fuel tenders at various times. BNs effort in the 80s was to extend the distances between fueling stops, and modified several tanks so they could fuel while en route. One of the tender sets is pulling this 66 car eastbound through Hoffman Av as it starts down the river toward La Crosse. As an added bonus, the leader is one of the BN tiger stripe units. The power is otherwise notable in that the two GP 50's and cabless B30-7A represent common road power in the era before 6 axle units took over everything. |
