It was probably there before uslw had wiped a lot of it's content.
September 11, 1998. 10:35 PM. It's raining heavily. You're standing at the east end of Coram siding. You hear a distant RS3K and a trio of 645 engines in notch 8. You wait a few minutes. The signal lights up. Then you see a headlight round the corner. It keeps coming closer and closer. Then, you watch the BNSF intermodal train pass, led by SD40-2 #7801.

Burlington Northern Santa Fe Corp. created on September 22, 1995, when BN bought AT&SF's corporate Parent. Atchison, Topeka & Santa Fe Railway merged into Burlington Northern Railroad on December 31, 1996, and BN renamed it Burlington Northern & Santa Fe Railway. The name shortened to BNSF Railway Company in 2005
I was going by the BNSF reporting mark when referring to the "BNSF intermodal train". Because the full name is a bit of a mouthful.

It's like when people call the Pennsylvania railroad the PRR, because Pennsylvania is a long word.

That screenshot is set when William Jefferson Clinton, whose name is sometimes shortened to "Bill", was president, which began on January twentieth, nineteen ninety-three and ended on January nineteeth, two thousand one, which means that the Burlington Northern Santa Fe Railway merger occurred 33 percent of the way through his presidency and therefore 67 percent of the way through his first term. The screenshot is set 70 percent of the way through the same administration. SD40-2 #7801 was formerly owned by Burlington Northern Railroad, the history of which can be studied briefly in the unsolicited information presented above.
Ah Yes, The Burlington Northern Santa Fe Railway, Combining the Burlington Northern and the Austin, Topeka, and Santa Fe Railway. Burlington Northern is unique as it merged four major railroads into it back in Ninteen Seventy, the Chicago, Burlington, and Quincy, the Spokane, Portland, and Seattle, The Northern Pacific Railway, and The Great Northern Railway. The Austin, Topeka, and Santa Fe Railway on the other hand, merged with Burlington Northern because they were unable to merge with the Southern Pacific Railroad to form Southern Pacific Santa Fe Railroad. Isn't history grand?
Ahhh! I miss the good ole days of the Burlington Northern Santa Fe. When they had decent power on trains. Now, they're UP wannabees and have terrible power that always breakdown.

Public Belt job CTAL trundles down the ex-SP Carterstown Spur with a transfer to Adeline Yard on the ex-MP.
This move is once weekly. Here, 1114, LPB's rattiest SW15, leads a dozen cars down rickety track with ease.
Next shot we see the CTAL hitting the former IC trackage at East End Junction where the IC met the B&O line.
