BN B7 - COMPASS Training/instruction car

Built in 1910 and modernized by the GN over the years, eventually becoming one of their business cars the A-6. BN converted it in 1971 into their company service car "B7". The car was used to train clerks on how to use their new car tracing computer system. The car was donated to the Minnesota Transportation Museum in 1982.
