| On August 19th, 2014, I ran by BNSF's Topeka shops and came away with shots of some interesting new wrinkles in the BNSF Business Car Roster. As I showed up, a westbound business train was getting ready to depart the shops, and given a bit of free time before dinner, I decided to brave the heat and see what I could make happen. Meet BNSF 53, the "Mt. San Antonio." This had formerly been the ATSF 88 which had most recently been used as a classroom at Johnson County Community College (aka Choo Choo U) in a nearby Kansas City suburb. This car has been at the Topeka shops for a little over a year, and I most recently shot it exactly one year ago on 8/20/13. |
