| Burlington Northern Railroad BNA10, named COMO, at Galesburg, Illinois on June 11, 1983, Kodachrome by Chuck Zeiler. The following is from http://www.fobnr.org/bncarlist/passenger/bna10.htm : BNA-10 - COMO started out as a 1951 AC&F product bought by the former GN for the newly equipped Empire Builder. Originally painted in the Empire Builder scheme (numbered 1209), by the time of the merger though it had been repainted into the Big Sky Blue scheme. Amtrak did not acquire this car for its fleet, and it lanquished around Como shops waiting for further use. Finally in 1977, BN decided to rebuild this car and place it into the Business Car fleet as BNA-10 and naming it (appropriately) COMO. It continued this way until 1995 when it was repainted into the Executive scheme. |
