BNSF Business Cars

BNSF maintains a fleet of passenger cars for use on their business trains (O symbol prefix). Occasionally these cars are used for other purposes, such as on the Santa Train or the Employee Appreciation Special. Currently there are no passenger locomotives assigned to the business cars, and so they are pulled by one of BNSF's freight locomotives, and utilize a power car within the train to generate electricity for the rest of the train.

The following is a list of all the currently active business and passenger cars:
