This List is dedicated to the discussion of the Burlington Northern Railroad from its formation in 1970 until its demise as an independent corporation in 1995. We will allow discussions on the various predecessor roads, as well as topics on modeling and prototype items; but we will not allow topics that cover current operations on the BNSF or its successors. If you have, as personal property, Burlington Northern memorabilia, books, or models that you wish to sell, or if you would like to contact someone who wishes to sell such an item, you may use the list for that purpose at any time. Commerical posts are allowed at any time also.
