BNSF Hopper 8-Pack

These ex-Burlington Northern 3-bay covered hoppers were renumbered, and repainted into a black BNSF paint scheme in the early 2000s. Burlington Northern was formed through the mergers of Great Northern and Northern Pacific in 1970, and then merged with ATSF in 1995 to form BNSF. BNSF is one of the largest freight railroads in the country with over 32,000 miles of rail.
