🎉🚂 Our big secret, (or three) is out!
BNSF is proud to unveil today three specially painted locomotives honoring America’s 250th birthday, units 250, 1776 and 2026, wrapped in red, white, and blue and carrying the spirit of “We the People.”
These locomotives pay tribute to our nation’s story and the railroaders who’ve helped shape it for nearly two centuries.
They’ll be traveling our 32,500‑mile network, celebrating the communities we serve, our rich history and the people who keep America moving.
Here’s to 250 years of freedom, connection and the railroad that helped build it.

One of the problems I always had while being the "history guy" for the Age of Empires series was that everyone always made jokes about how terrible the French were at war. Whereas in fact, France was such a force to be feared that during the 1600s and 1700s all of Europe usually had to band together to stop her.
It all goes back to France's shameful performance in World War 2 (which was pathetic). That humiliating loss has echoed through the years. But I had to explain it again and again and again to people. Then they would say something like, "Well Napoleon lost." Even the somewhat historically literate, who knew of Agincourt and Crecy, were surprised when I explained that France not only won the 100 years war, but they won it stunningly, laying waste to British Continental pretensions.
I blame France's abysmal performance in the Franco-Prussian War, WW2, and Dien Bien Phu. Get your act together France. Be the France that terrified all of Europe and fought literally every other nation to a standstill in 1697.

Here is our Storm Total Snowfall forecast for the winter storm Sun into Mon. This will be refined over the next 24-36 hours. The period of heaviest snow (chance for 1+"/hour) is late Sun to the first half of Sun night. Snow then becomes lighter late Sun night and Mon.
No matter the outcome of tonight's game, this season for the Chicago Bears is an A+ across the board. Setting records (in a good way). Knocking GB out of contention for the division. Knocking GB out of the playoffs. Massive development from 18, 10, 25, 84, the OL... wow
Call me petty, I really don’t care.
The #Bears breaking their postseason winless streak against the Packers & watching Aaron Rodgers go out in flames two nights later has been extremely cathartic.
