Following the assimilation of the Frisco into the Burlington Northern, BN began renumbering locomotives, cabooses, and some other rolling stock and covering SL-SF markings with “BN.” Repainting into BN colors would come in time for most of the equipment.

BN patched images are presented on the Frisco Archive for historical reference only. Although these images were taken following the demise of the Frisco, the images remain of value due to still being in Frisco colors.

U30B 5796 (Frisco 859) and GP38AC 2135 (Frisco 659) at Memphis, Tennessee in March 1981.

This is the Mechanical Department’s service tracks area at Tennessee Yard. On the right is the metal diesel shop with one story shop and storage space addition to its South. Visible are rectangular, downward facing area lights and one of the two silver painted, fixed sand towers at the North end of the service tracks 1, 2 and 3.

The view is looking Northeast.

Special thanks to Mark Davidson.
