HISTORY

When the Burlington wanted something to last, they had it made out of concrete! These small, yet ubiquitous concrete instrument houses were no exception, many still serving today on the BNSF! Used system-wide, these virtually indestructible buildings housed electrical signal equipment and were often found near grade crossings. Q Connection is offering a kit of the 6'6" x 9'6" version.
