Eastbound BNSF Railway unit coal train behind former Burlington Northern locomotives. Brookfield Illinois USA. December 2006.

I took this photo looking west, on a very sunny and somewhat mild morning in late December of 2006. An eastbound BNSF Railway unit coal train is seen approaching the railroad crossing at Prarie Avenue. On the head end, are two late 1980's era EMD roadfreight units wearing still wearing early 1990's era Burlington Northern colors and markings. This color scheme was as the "Grinstien Green" color scheme, and was nicknamed so in honor of one of the BN'S officials.

The Burlington Northern and the Atchinson, Topeka & Santa Fe Railroads merged in 1995, and became todays BNSF Railway.
