Green Giants: The Burlington Northern F Unit duo from Menards

The Burlington Northern traversed the Northern United States from the waters of Puget Sound to Chicago, and amassed a network of lines through the Northwest to Chicago, and later as far south Dallas-Forth Worth Texas. The BN was a conduit of export to Asia, and a high-volume speedway for imports from China.

The Burlington’s classic green and white livery was a stand-out design and was only replaced after its merger with the Santa Fe forming the BNSF railway.

Add the Burlington Northern loco to your fleet and expand your rail operations from the port of Seattle to the hectic freight yards of Chicago!
