Western Railroad Discussion > BNSF New Dash-9 Roof detailDate: 06/27/04 22:56 BNSF New Dash-9 Roof detail Author: bnsfsd70 At Galesburg, IL today, I noticed that one of BNSF's Dash 9's had a pair of "rails" mounted parallel to the tracks along either side of the cab roof. These were a silver/gray color, and I was wondering if anyone knew what these were. Thanks a lot, Jeff

I've seen said unit my own self. TCS - McKinnett Date: 06/28/04 07:54 Re: BNSF New Dash-9 Roof detail Author: rfdatalink Check messsage 745894 or do a search on ETMS for information on these antennas.
