Review of Burlington Northern C30-7s - Railfanning with George Redmond 1985-1999 Vol 2 DVD

Come along with NostalgiaRAIL and Cameraman George Redmond as we take a look at Burlington Northern's C30-7's in Nebraska and Illinois. Burlington Northern purchased 242 of the model of the 1,137 built between 1976 and 1986, putting them in two different road number slots, 142 of them going into the 5000 - 5141 series and the remaining 100 into the 5500 - 5599 number series.
