Western Railroad Discussion > Never Seen Before On The BNSF--A Bit Of Traction

It was a blustery cool sunny day in Ritaville, WA on the BNSF Northern Transcon. The high-low was 55-36, felt colder due to the wind. Have gotten a late start today, so will be a short menu today. I caught a grab shot of this unusual container train of all Run Rail container train of regular length with no DPU. plus a bit of Traction

1. EB 1155am Run Rail container train with BNSG H1 1079-5461 on the point with no DPU. I've never seen these containers until this past Wedneday.

Now for a bit of Traction from the Andy Goddard collection

I wonder what the story is. New company, or old company renamed? We've not seen them either down here in the Midwest. So far...

Interesting new containers Larry. Haven’t seen any in this area yet on the BNSF. Nice looking Greyhound bus with the glass in roof

There was another thread about those containers. I suspect they are fresh off the boat from their builder. Which is probably why you have never heard of them. They're brand new.
 

Thanks Lance, Brian and PHall for your interesting comments. I'm sure we'll get some information on those containers soon.

Thanks for your heads up work in taking the Run Rail container photos.  I have never seen them before.

Muni #1776 photo harks back to a great time in America, the 1976 Bicentennial.

ETS #179 is a Brown Boveri Model HR150G Trolley bus. Brown Boveri built 200 of this model with GM New Look shells in 1981/82 for the Edmonton Transit System.

Nice view of GM New Look sightseeing model, basically a Suburban New Look with the roof top windows. Other coach builders also built sightseeing models.

Always look forward to and super appreciate your bus photo postings.

Thanks again Larry.
I always have a soft spot for the N Judah San Francisco MUNI line, named for the original engineer and advocate for the Sierra crossing used by the Central Pacific through to this day.
It would only be better if it was the T Judah as his name was Theodore.
I rode it many times as my aunt lived only half a block off of it near the UC hospital.

Thanks Allen for your interesting review. Thanks for the bus models and year, always appreciated and helpful. Thank "railstiesballast" for your Theodore Judah info. I too as a kid and young teenager used to catch the N streetcar in the Haight district where my Aunt lived on Sharader St. Fun times in those days in SF.

Beutifull Run Rail containers. Hope to see more running through you backyard, Larry.

I went to the 1964-65 World's Fair 13 times. It was an easy shot from North Jersey. And although I remember many of the pavilions, especially the biggies like GM and Ford and the talking Lincoln, I sure don't remember the Greyhound Bus!
