BNSF was formed through the mergers of Atchison, Topeka & Santa Fe, and Burlington Northern. BN also formed through several mergers of some of the largest West-coast Class 1 railroads, including Great Northern and Northern Pacific. This 8-car series features prototype-weathered and patched paint schemes representing the major constituent heritage railroads in BNSF family tree. 

This 40’ box car with Bettendorf trucks was built for the Spokane, Portland and Seattle and operated in general
freight until it was restenciled into BN markings for MOW service in the early 1970s. The Spokane, Portland
and Seattle was a railroad in Washington and Oregon incorporated in 1905 as a joint venture between Great
Northern and Northern Pacific. It operated until 1970, when it was rolled into Burlington Northern.
