Viewing Album:  "When the frost is on the punkin . . . ahh, tanker!"
 
By:Gary Everhart
Dates:12/27/2013 - 12/27/2013
Album Info:James Whitcomb Riley probably never saw a frost covered CSX/BNSF tanker train like this one spotted heading east last year through Dolton, IL. These are some of the examples of the 50+ car train. It took some extreme close ups to read the car reporting marks and numbers.

"Frosty the Tanker Train"
Title:  "Frosty the Tanker Train"
Description:  The Santa Fe war bonnet still looks great and am glad to see BNSF adopt it for a few of their locomotives. Could this be considered one of the first heritage units or just the dying images of a fallen flag?
