In this 100-page issue, Louis Zadnichek has written another โI 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 Northernโs Chief Operating Officer. The primary topic of this Bulletin issue is J. W. (Bill) Schultzโs treatise on the Burlingtonโs acquisition and use of 300 of the governmentโs ex-troop kitchen cars as baggage, mail, and express cars, affectionally known as โjeeps.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.
