On August 19th, 2014, I ran by BNSF's Topeka shops and came away with shots of some interesting new wrinkles in the BNSF Business Car Roster. As I showed up, a westbound business train was getting ready to depart the shops, and given a bit of free time before dinner, I decided to brave the heat and see what I could make happen. This one is the confusing one. Here, we've got the newly renamed AND renumbered BNSF 62, the "Snoqualmie Pass." I'm not positive, but this looks to be the former BNSF 2, the "Columbia River." I haven't found any pictures of the BNSF 2 since mid-2012, so it has presumably been shoved away in the shops for quite some time. However, what's odd about this is that the BNSF already has/had a "Snoqualmie Pass," which had been HEP car #51. I've not seen that car recently, so it's anybody's guess as to what it comes out as. |
