Historical background
The Burlington Northern Santa Fe Railway is one of the largest freight railroad companies in North America and is particularly well represented in coal traffic. The typical hopper cars, as depicted in this set, are used daily on thousands of kilometers of track - from the opencast mine to the port. The model faithfully reproduces the current operating condition of these high-performance wagons from Era VI.
