Here is Buick switch engine #522. I'm not sure of the year. |
This was the fate of the 818 train from Buick. It now resides in Crookston, Minnesota near the North Dakota border. |

Nice page of the BRR..... I worked in #17 Garage which maintained the locomotives. I have several of the cloth BRR patches that were on the uniforms of the crew, and the original order paperwork, drawings and operators manual for #818. I also have some photos of #792 which ended up @ EMD in Canada.
