BN Air Car 90         
Burlingtnn Northern Railroad Air Car 90 at Saint Louis, Missouri on May 19, 1982, Kodachrome by Chuck Zeiler. The COTS stcker indicates that the flat car was built in 3-29. Stenciled on the large box was the following: THIS CAR FOR USE AT ACBL NORTH ST. LOUIS COAL UNLOADING FACILITY, ONLY . I believe ACBL meant American Container Barge Company, and they had a rail to barge coal tranqfer facility in North Saint Louis. I have not found the purpose of this car, presumably this car was used to keep the air brakes charged as the unloading took place. -If anyone knows more, please leave a comment.
