Nostalgia & History > BN hockey stick scheme A-B-A setDate: 05/18/22 18:21 BN hockey stick scheme A-B-A set Author: 830-east BN was only in the long distance passengar business for only 14 months. So seeing a matched set I think was rare. The only time I photographed one was at Yakima , WA westbound passing the turntable on June 17, 1970

I don't recall seeing a photo of matched BN Funits on a pre-Amtrak passenger train.

(Me, I hated that scheme then and shunned taking photos of it!) No. 25, Vista-Dome North Coast Ltd., normally due into Yak around 4:40 a.m., possibly a leeetle tardy this day.
