We’ve all heard about heritage locomotives, particularly those that Norfolk Southern created to celebrate its 30th anniversary back in 2012.
If you pay attention as a train passes you at trackside, you might spot some freight cars in some semblance of their original livery.
It might be an outline of a former herald, e.g., Penn Central or Conrail, or it might be the faded markings of a one-time owner.
And then there is this covered hopper that can be described as heritage, BNSF style. One of its grain cars is shown in Cleveland with an added “Burlington Route” emblem on it.
