OC Burlington Northern “Northern Star” reefers sit in a siding in Two Harbors, MN

Just caught two of these weird, supposedly experimental “composite” reefer cars while on a trip with mrs. PrimeMover. I haven’t been able to dig up much info on them yet, heck I didn’t know of their existence before today. But they’re too cool to not share!

Burlington Northern Combination Boxcars/Hoppers, Sept. 19 1992, M. J. Budo Photo

Today's feature is another weird entry in railroad history, the Burlington Northern Boxhopper, or bopper! BN created these prototype cars in order to maximize the use of their rolling stock fleet.

Follow-up to the DDA35 post, the DD35

What you see here is one of three DD35 sample units that the espee ordered. Espee didn't order any others so I imagine these beasts were a rare sight in espee livery. These B-units (no control cab) came first, and the DD35A's were made later at UP's request. Like the A's none of these B units survived the scrapper's torch

CP Rail 8558, an MLW RS-10 (?) gets turned around on a chilly morning, 1966.

Montreal Locomotive Works (MLW) was a subsidiary of the American Locomotive Company (Alco), and produced locomotives primarily for the Canadian market. MLW operated from 1883 to 1985, before being sold to Bombadier...

EJ&E 704 (BLW DT-6-6-2000) sits alongside SD9 602 on an unknown evening, 1966

The DT-6-6-2000 was Baldwin's offering for a diesel electric transfer switcher, initially powered by dual 606SC prime movers. This locomotive was mostly used by the EJ&E with them purchasing 27 of the 46 total built. These locomotives endured various rebuilds throughout their life with most being repowered with 567C prime...
