Burlington Steel
METX #211 leads a weekend commuter set into 14th Street Yard for servicing passing a set of 7000-series stainless-steel gallery cars awaiting work. The 7000-series were built by Budd in the late 1970s for the Burlington Northern. At that point, the Regional Transit Authority had already been subsidizing Burlington commuter operations for 4-5 years, and the coaches were numbered by RTA standards. They were the last brand-new coaches built for the Burlington line until the 1990s.
