Burlington Northern covered hopper 448101 was on BNSF grain train G-COKPTN9-23 (Coolidge, Kansas to Houston PTRA North Yard) at Justin, Texas 25 years after the BN merged with the Santa Fe. The 4750 cubic foot car had been built in September 1988 with a LT WT of 61,900 pounds, a LD LMT of 201,100 pounds and a gross rail load of 263,000 pounds, but the BNSF now permitted it a LD LMT of 206,100 pounds and gross rail load of 268,000 pounds when operating on home rails. |
