Description
The Friends of the Burlington Northern Railroad (FOBNR) historical society was incorporated in the state of Idaho on January 3,1993. It was chartered to gather, preserve, and share information about the history and the current operations of the Burlington Northern Railroad. The group began with about 140 members absorbed from the Burlington Northern Historical Society, an un-incorporated interim organization interested in studying the history of the Burlington Northern Railroad. In 1996, following the merger between Burlington Northern and Santa Fe, the group voted to follow the Burlington Northern from 1970 to 1995 and the BNSF from 1995 to the present. The Group's quarterly publication, The BN Expediter, is the voice of the organization that shares news about the group's activities, BN historical data, and current operations of the railroad. It is a 20-page publication and will grow even larger as the society grows and more members contribute more information...
