During the
winter season railroads had to be creative to keep loads in
open hoppers from getting wet and freezing over during storms.
One way was to cover the car with a tarp which could be easily
removed by a work crew on site. Burlington Northern was formed
through the mergers of Great Northern and Northern Pacific in
1970, and then merged with ATSF in 1995 to form BNSF. BNSF is
one of the largest freight railroads in the country with over
32,000 miles of rail.
