Flashback Friday
In September of 1988, we see a handful of Burlington Northern motive power at Eola Yard in Aurora, Illinois. In the foreground is BN 6850, which was originally built as Colorado and Southern 980. It was eventually painted into BNSF’s ‘Heritage 1’ scheme and eventually renumbered to 1977. In the background is KYLE 3114, which began its career with the New York Central, before being passed to Penn Central and then Conrail. After its tenure with KYLE, it served Amtrak, HLCX, Lake State Railway, and is in service with CaterParrot Railnet in Georgia. Photographer unknown, Greg Kozlick collection.
