BN Executive Fs chase
On Sunday of Thanksgiving weekend 1990, the BN executive F9A&B set were dispatched to lead a freight from Galesburg, IL., to the Twin Cities. The F's had just been released into service and this was my first of many looks at these handsome covered wagons. Today, the F's would lead a combo 143-45 freight, and Tom McNair and I chased the train from Galesburg to Savanna, over the BN Barstow sub, aka the "Peavine". The weather conditions were less than perfect with a milky layer of clouds, but there were a few sucker holes in the clouds to cast a soft glow on the train as it headed north (timetable west) over the BN.
