| These 50’
airslide hoppers are mineral brown with white lettering and run
on 100-ton Barber Roller Bearing trucks. Built as part of series
808000-808099, these hoppers were removed from revenue service
and re-stenciled for use as a buffer car in the late 1990s. Often
seen separating locomotives from loaded ethanol or crude oil tank
car unit trains, HAZMAT buffer cars are commonplace across the
BNSF network. |
