    The Nebraska Central Railroad Thread

    Thank you everyone for all the kind comments! My next set is from 1/31/15 in Central City. Here I found NCRC 1005 sitting in the old BN yard. Nebraska Central discontinued service over the Palmer sub in March of 2012 and now spot the cars of molasses and other feed supplement products in the...

    I had another chase of the Ord Local on September 24, 2014. This time the train was heading North from Grand Island to Ord. The first photo was taken just North of St. Paul and the other two were taken around the Chalk Mines East of Scotia.

    A little later on the Ord Local arrives and begins switching the Green Plains Renewable Energy facility. Unfortunately this is where the chase ended for the day because a road crew was repaving the Highway 22 crossing near Scotia and M.O.W. held the train at Green Plains until the crossing was...

    The Nebraska Central Railroad Thread

    I have quite a bit of catching up to do on my Nebraska Central pictures so I'm just going to put them all in one thread and add to it in the future. The first set was taken on July 11, 2014. The Ord Local started its trip to Grand Island with just 4 cars behind SD40 6331 and SD40-2 6795.

    North Dakota 2014

    First off I want to apologize for taking so long to upload the rest of these photos. After I moved and started school I got very busy and kept putting it off until I just forgot completely. Anyway, the first photo is BNSF 7099 sitting in Oakes, ND waiting for a grain shuttle to be loaded. Next...

    A few more from Sunday. 1. The train rolling past MP 111. 2. ILSX 1389 and RRVW 2194 a few miles outside of Gwinner. 3. Apparently since they had some extra switching to do they headed straight into town. Here the crew is stopping to unhook the cars for Gwinner (3 gons, 12 covered...

    North Dakota 2014

    A few pictures from Mon. 6/16/14 and Sunday 6/22/14. On the 16th I was just out for a drive and happened to catch a RRVW weed spraying train sitting in Delamere, ND. I've been getting frustrated since the train comes into town about 10pm on Sundays especially since it sits 5 miles East of town...

    Champion Dakota Southern, Chamberlain, SD

    Champion Dakota Southern, Chamberlain, SD

    On my way home from North Dakota I was able to visit the graveyard in Chamberlain, SD. Chamberlain is home to the "Little Railway That Could" Champion Dakota Southern. This trackage was once part of the Milwaukee Road system as a secondary route between Marquette, IA and Rapid City, SD. From...
