| Cover Painting Noted railroad artist Howard Fogg painted this scene for BN's 1970 Christmas card; it depicts three F45's on a hotshot freight high in the Montano Rockies. On the opposite page appear Howard's rough pencil sketch and preliminary water color, both of which feature SD45's rather than the F45's selected for the final version. The original painting now hangs in the BN general offices in St. Paul.

For our inspiration, we at Motive Power Services are indebted to Joe Strapac and Chatham Publishing Company, whose Southern Pacific Motive Power Annual has been the sole publication of this type for the past five years. Depending on public reaction and response, future issues may be expanded to include facets of the BN other than just motive power. It interest warrants, features on passenger, freight and company service equipment will also be included, and more scale drawings can also be featured. The editor and the other partners in MPS are eternally grateful to the many people who have helped to bring this annual to fruition Our very special thanks to Albert M. Rung, Vice Presi-dent of Public Relations and Advertising for Burlington Northern, for all his cooperation and assistance and for allowing use of the cover painting by Howard Fogg. In addition, thanks are due Howard himself for letting us reproduce his pencil sketch and preliminary water color, something seldom seen in a publication of this sort. Without the assistance of devoted BN fans J. David Ingles and Richard R. Wallin, the information herein would be far from complete. And finally, our thanks to the many people who have so graciously provided the photographs which make this annual what it is: Roger Burrows, Tom H. Chenoweth, David Chornell, George R.
