Description

Railroad Short Name: BN

All GN/BN units include unique five step stepwells and extra end grabs per Great Northern practice. First time offered in HO. Both Great Northern and Burlington Northern units are painted in the Great Northern as-delivered orange and green paint. The BN units have been patched with new BN numbers. This practice was common on the BN from 1970 until the units received Burlington Northern green and black paint. Some units stayed patched in GN paint until 1976 or 1977.
