Western Railroad Discussion > BNSF's Newest Inspection Car: Kicking the TiresDate: 02/05/15 20:05 BNSF's Newest Inspection Car: Kicking the Tires Author: bnsfsd70 After getting back from Kansas City, I stopped by the Amtrak depot in Topeka, KS and found that their newest inspection car, BNSF #90 had been out on what was likely a shakedown run. From what I have heard, this car is "supposed to be an unmanned track geometry car when they get it done. Said they'll tack in onto a Z train and it'll test track on its journey from point A to point B. "
More info on its history can be found here: http://www.trainorders.com/discussion/read.php?1,3640523,3640998#msg-3640998 Thanks for looking, Jeff Carlson  Date: 02/06/15 08:53 Re: BNSF's Newest Inspection Car: Kicking the Tires Author: wag216 Walthers will love this car. wag216

The windows will all have to be rebuilt, but it would be an easy, distinctive model to make. - Jeff Date: 02/07/15 10:15 Re: BNSF's Newest Inspection Car: Kicking the Tires Author: mp51w Black trucks ala Amtrak! Thanks for getting the shot Jeff. It was all in the shadows when I got off of work Friday morning.
