Articulateds capture the heart and minds of anyone who comes out to see them.
BNSF owns stock in which passenger company? Clue… American Financial Group.
Fat Finger Attack. Hit wrong key.
Perhaps BNSF can become the new railroad to host the annual Cheyenne Frontier Days event insofar that Union Pacific has plans to utilize their collection of historic equipment for their own use? This is the reason given why UP made the decision to terminate the agreement which can be can be read right here on Trains News Wire, titled “End of the Line for Cheyenne Days train.”
BNSF would thus run the train over their Colorado & Southern line between Denver and Cheyenne. Locating suitable equipment should pose no problem in order to continue the operation of this popular event.
I did not imply that UP would seek trackage rights over BNSF since they will no longer provide their own equipment to begin with!
Mr. Ross: I was thinking in terms that BNSF could possibly become the host railroad to operate the annual Cheyenne Frontier Days event themselves due to Union Pacific’s is pulling out of the agreement plans to utilize their collection of historic equipment .
Come on you guys, I’m really disappointed that the crew @Trains, THE Magazine of Railroading, SINCE 1940, hasn’t contacted Mr. Warren Buffet to see if he’ll consider operating the annual Cheyenne Frontier Days event on his 1:1 scale model railroad, better known as BNSF, since it too just happens to have a track to run trains on between Denver and Cheyenne!
Jim & Steve, by now you are aware that the potus has at least temporarily suspended the shutdown. Let us hope that congress sees to it that the so called democratic leaders don’t shoot off their big mouths and get Trump p.o’d again. Congress should also take strong action in other ways to insure that this shutdown crap cannot be restarted. If these so called leaders of our country cannot fix this problem, who can?
To Joseph Toth, I kind of doubt that Mr. Buffet has much interest in a railroad he does not own, at least in part. He had to sell off any interest he had in U.P. when Berkshire Hathaway bought BNSF a few years ago. UP does not like to run their trains over the competition’s rails except when necessary to reach their own rails again as it is here in the Spokane,Wa. area on the west end of the “funnel” or when forced to by virtue of a wreck. Buffet might do something to help preserve the steam program but other than that, I just don’t see anything.
