In January of 1969, when these cars arrived from Greenville, Chicago Burlington & Quincy was preparing for merger with parents Great Northern and Northern Pacific (and sibling SP&S.) New equipment was being delivered in Cascade Green with “BURLINGTON” in the new style lettering and CB&Q reporting marks. After the merger, they expected to add “NORTHERN” and change the number. However, small changes in the lettering style led BN to abandon this plan and completely repaint the cars only when they came up for major shopping. We photographed one of these cars still in original lettering in California in 1996, 26 years after the BN merger! This roadname will be available in 3 road numbers.
