BNSF

    

The BNSF was the result of a giant merger between the former Santa Fe and Burlington Northern Railroads. The present system extends from the Gulf of Mexico to the Pacific Northwest to Southern California and the greater Midwest. These pictures are a start for the BNSF. Pictures were taken near the Nortown yards near Minneapolis, Hinsdale, Illinois and Alma, Wisconsin.
