Early Burlington Northern
Extra BN 6610 East F-45 the old fashioned way. This train ran against the current Newport to St.Croix Tower thus here where no train order rack. Let's do it manually. That's 1st tricker Don doing the honors. I did it the standard way,touch the hoop to the rail then extend up to window. Puts you closer to train,but not requiring brakman to climb down there. I can always step back. This no longer necessary with radio track warrants,computer,PTC, Sputnik dispatching,etc.
