Der Brolgakranich, auch Australischer Kranich genannt, ist ein Vogel aus der Familie der Kraniche. Er wurde 1810 das erste Mal wissenschaftlich beschrieben und damals der Gattung der Reiher zugeordnet. Heute zählt man ihn zu den Vertretern der Kranichvögel, zu denen auch die Rallen sowie die Kraniche zählen.
1865 erhielt der Kranich durch den berühmten Ornithologen und Künstler John Gould die Bezeichnung Australischer Kranich, die 1926 durch die Royal Australasian Ornithologists Union in "Brolga" geändert wurde. Diese Bezeichnung stammt aus einer der Aborigine-Sprachen. Der Brolgakranich ist ein häufiger Vogel des tropischen Ostaustraliens, der wie viele andere Arten der Familie der Kraniche für einen ausdrucksvollen Balztanz bekannt ist.

The Brolgakranich, also called Australian crane, is a bird of the crane family. It was scientifically described for the first time in 1810 and was then assigned to the genus of herons. Today he is one of the representatives of the crane birds, which also include the rallies and the cranes.
In 1865 the famous ornithologist and artist John Gould gave the crane the name Australian crane, which was changed to 'Brolga' in 1926 by the Royal Australasian Ornithologists Union. This name comes from one of the Aboriginal languages. The Brolgakranich is a common bird of the tropical east Australia, which like many other kinds of the crane family is known for an expressive courtship dance.

Chicago Burlington & Quincy Railroad 96 at Denver, Colorado on January 17, 1971, duplicate slide by Jerry Appleman, Chuck Zeiler collection. Number 96 was built in 1886 by Barney & Smith as Chicago Burlington & Northern B-99. As built it was an all-wood business car with open platforms at both ends. In 1895 it was renumbered to CB&N 45 and in 1902 it became CB&Q 90. In 1906 it was rebuilt by CB&Q's Aurora Shops becoming CB&Q 96, still an all-wood car but with one observation platform, the other end was occupied by the refrigerator. In 1915 electric lights replaced the Pintsch gas fixtures and in 1917 a steel underframe replaced the wood. Steel sheathing was applied in the 1920's over the original tongue-and-groove siding, cast steel trucks replaced the wood-beam ones, and a shower was added to the main restroom. In the 1930's ice air-conditioning, oil heat and Thermopane windows were added. In 1962 a minor kitchen fire sidelined the car, and it was sold to the Intermountain Chapter of the NRHS. It was used in excursion service until the advent of Amtrak in 1971, when it was moved to the Colorado Railroad Museum for display.
So NS is going to have "heritage" locomotives, why not BNSF? They can start with something like this. Get 'er done BNSF!
On September 12 and 13, 1964, a Saturday and a Sunday, the CB&Q ran fantrips out of Chicago to the Sandwich (DeKalb County) Fair and return. I was working second trick at Montgomery Tower, filling in for the the vacationing regular towerman. And yes I took pictures of 5632 returning to Chicago past the tower each evening.
For all these four photos I'm standing in front of Montgomery Tower (trackside). I had cleared the train through the plant and walked down stairs.
