Title:
BN Air Car 90
Description:
Burlingtnn Northern Railroad Air Car 90 at Saint Louis, Missouri on May 19, 1982, Kodachrome by Chuck Zeiler. The COTS stcker indicates that the flat car was built in 3-29. Stenciled on the large box was the following: THIS CAR FOR USE AT ACBL NORTH ST. LOUIS COAL UNLOADING FACILITY, ONLY . I believe ACBL meant American Container Barge Company, and they had a rail to barge coal tranqfer facility in North Saint Louis. I have not found the purpose of this car, presumably this car was used to keep the air brakes charged as the unloading took place. -If anyone knows more, please leave a comment.

Title:
BN Air Car 90
Description:
Burlington Northern Railroad Air Car 90 at Clyde, Illinois on an unknown day in August 1983, Kodachrome by Chuck Zeiler. The COTS stcker indicates that the flat car was built in 3-29. I have not found the purpose of this car. It may have been used to keep the air brakes charged on unit coal trains at a rail-to-barge unloading facility in Saint Louis. If anyone knows more, please leave a comment.
