Nostalgia & History > BN did have some prideDate: 07/01/05 10:54 BN did have some pride Author: FT For a long time those of us that missed the fallen flags making up the BN refered to it as
the "Big Nothing". I was surprised in Sept. '94 to find this sign welcoming crews to the Spokane Division, after crossing over the Columbia River at Rock Island, WA. I can't recall seeing it after that. Wonder if the RR removed it or it was "collected" by someone? Keith A  Date: 07/01/05 12:28 Re: BN did have some pride Author: DJ-12 BNSF seems to as well. I saw a very classy sign marking the continental divide on a western visit at Marias Pass in 2004.

Probably taken down when the divisions were realigned (may be in someone's garage though). But I have seen signs similar to this at other yardes / division / region / service unit boundaries under BNSF and on UP too. |
