Burlington Northern SD60m #1991 along with a pair of GE B30-7A B-units heads Southbound at Palmer Lake on the Joint Line in September of 1992.
This engine was painted up to honor the troops that were serving in the Persian Gulf War.
Burlington Northern SD40-2 #8142 is on the point of a Southbound Houston Power & Light loaded coal train as it throttles up to pull out of the sag at Elkhorn, WY in May of 1985.
Elkhorn is located between Guernsey and Bridger Jct. on the Canyon Subdivision.
The four GE's behind the 8142 included U30C #5379 and C30-7's 5082, 5500 and 5548
Chicago, Burlington & Quincy EMD E5 No. 9911-A and the Nebraska Zephyr Budd-built streamliner trainset rests in a siding at Burlington, Wisconsin, on the night of September 29, 1993. This classy Zephyr from the Illinois Railway Museum collection made a somewhat uncommon off-site trip for an ARM convention running on the Wisconsin Central main line from Burlington to Neenah and return the next day. While photographing the stainless-steel steed that night, illuminating the locomotive was a bit like trying to light up a mirror with flashbulbs.
A pair of Burlington Northern SDP40's, the 6397 and 6394 with SD40R #7306 trailing are pulling into the Coors Brewery yard at Wheat Ridge, CO in December of 1990.
The SDP40's were regulars on the "Beer Run" and as helpers South out of Denver to Palmer Lake during this time.

Burlington Tavern in Hull. It seems there may have been some confusion or discrepancy regarding the name of the establishment over time.
In the earliest directory from 1823, it was listed as the Bridlington Tavern at 17 Manor Street.
By 1828, it appears under the name Burlington, listed at 18 Manners Street (possibly a misspelling of Manor Street).
From 1841 onwards, it is consistently referred to as the Burlington in directories, still located on Manor Street.
There is no clear evidence in the directories you provided of it ever being called the "Witnesses Arms", despite the local lore about prisoners having their last drink there before sentencing.
The names "Bass Beers" and "Worthington's Ales" were etched on the windows until their replacement in 2013, indicating the breweries that supplied the pub.
The street name Broadley Street that the 1855 directory referenced was likely changed to Alfred Gelder Street around 1900.

A trio of remanufactured Burlington Northern four-axle engines head Northbound on the Front Range Subdivision at Westminster, CO on train #597 in October of 1990.
Lead engine GP39V #2964 was run through the VMV shop at Livingston, MT and was originally Chesapeake & Ohio GP35 #3536.
The two trailing engines were both sent to the Morrison Knudsen plant at Boise, ID and were classified as GP39M's.
Second engine #2875 was originally Great Northern GP35 #3026 and then Burlington Northern #2509.
The third engine was built as Great Northern GP30 #3013 and then to Burlington Northern #2213.

Chicago, Burlington and Quincy GP30 977 leads a U25B on an eastbound freight at Hinsdale, Illinois during the Winter of 1969-1970. Photographer Unknown, Joe Lewnard collection.
I've always loved the former BN-1 and BN-2 rebuilt F9's and glad they found a home at the Illinois Railway Museum. Although the sun isn't doing the paint on them any favors, the nose emblem still pops!

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.
Just a few months after the acquisition of the Frisco, BN GP40-2 3042 in the snow @ Moselle, Mo. running eastbound on the Cuba Sub. (Feb. 1981)
Kodachrome my collection, Bob Schmidt photographer.
This is a close up view of the railroad lift bridge. I needed permission to get access to these views.
On the left is a view of the bridge across the Mississippi at Burlington, IA and if you look at yesterday’s image you can see the barge approaching and the one section of the bridge lifted up.
The right photo shows the lifting gear – the upper portion contains weights and the two front black stripes are chains that shift as it lifts. You can also see it blocks the tracks as well – not sure if it would stop the train with 2 engines and 100 cars.
One day I counted a train about every 17 minutes hauling coal and other items eastward.
Was down in Burlington earlier this week with the family on our annual trip to visit my grandmother. Was odd being in Burlington with cool weather and clouds for most of the week. Tuesday was the only day the sun broke out for the afternoon.
The Burlington Junction is seen that afternoon shoving a big 18 car train towards the BNSF yard, passing under the Great River Bridge on June 12, 2018. The BJRY is about to end their day as they will next run their odd Alco C415 701 light back to the bottoms to tie up.
Once the sun broke out on this afternoon it was a hot and humid 90 degrees. Hot and humid is the weather I remember for just about every trip to Burlington over the years as we have always made the trip in summer.
