Remarks & Notes

Due to excessive leaks, freezing, etc. BN utilized these converted boxcars, fitted out with Diesel engines and air compressors. Used in the winter, they maintained trainline pressure on long consists and vacationed during nice weather.

Railroading in the 40s, 50s, 60s, 70s, 80s, basically anything but the 2000s.
