History

Pettibone built crane X2400144 for the St. Louis-San Francisco Ry. (known as the "Frisco") in 1973. The Burlington Northern Ry. acquired the Frisco in 1980. At the end of 1996, the Burlington Northern and the Atchison Topeka & Santa Fe Ry. merged to form the Burlington Northern Santa Fe Ry., later re-named BNSF Ry. In 2013, the BNSF rebuilt this crane at Brainerd, MN, adding a rear train coupler and connections for train air brakes. Then, the BNSF used the crane in Illinois.
