GN A28
Title:  GN A28
Description:  Great Northern Railway A28 eastbound at Naperville, Illinois on June 11, 1965, Kodachrome by Chuck Zeiler. I marked the slide as CB&Q Train #48, the Blackhawk, which was typically combined with NP's Mainstreeter train. On this date there may have been enough business for the railroad to run two separate trains. According to the 1975 Burlington Northern Annual (published by Motive Power Services), Great Northern car A28 (4th) was built in 1947 by Pullman-Standard as a business car, renumbered in 1969 to A4 (3rd), became BN A4 (3rd) in 1970, and was named Kootenai River in 1971.
