BNSF 8242
Title:  BNSF 8242
Description:  Was this picture of an eastbound coal train taken in Burleigh or Menoken? It's Burleigh if you ask the railroad, but Menoken if you ask local residents or consult a road map. The dual names have existed since 1891, when the Northern Pacific decided too many places on its lines began with the letter M and renamed its Menoken station Burleigh. The townspeople weren't impressed, however, and continue to stick with the name Menoken.
