In this 100-page issue, Louis Zadnichek has written another โ€œI am a Burlington Manโ€ tribute to the late Bill Greenwood, a BRHS Conductors Club member as well as an early member of the Zephyr Club. The tribute focuses on his CB&Q career which was the springboard for eventually becoming Burlington Northernโ€™s Chief Operating Officer. The primary topic of this Bulletin issue is J. W. (Bill) Schultzโ€™s treatise on the Burlingtonโ€™s acquisition and use of 300 of the governmentโ€™s ex-troop kitchen cars as baggage, mail, and express cars, affectionally known as โ€œjeeps.โ€ This article provides comprehensive coverage of these cars in their Burlington careers, up to, and including, the conversion of a handful to company service cars that made it through the Burlington Northern merger and concluding with one that is being preserved. A full roster of the 300 cars is included with a condensed roster of those that were destroyed, sold, or retired following the Burlington Northern merge.
