BURLINGTON NORTHERN RAILROAD

700-787, 816-820 and 710-7121

BN's Commuter service in Chicago's west side, which was a continuation of CB&Q service, was handled by seven groups of double decked coaches (and two groups of cab cars) called "Suburban Gallery Cars". Six of these groups were original CB&Q cars from 1954. As more cars were needed to handle the population using this service, they were purchased from Budd in 1973 and 1978 to supplement the fleet.
