Nebraska pt. I

The Nebraska Kansas Colorado Railnet uses three ex-Detroit Edison SD40's leased from Helm and Stationed at Grant. The third was in the engine shed I got the number, HLCX 5003 , off a web site.

You can see the pilot of the third SD under the roll-up door. It is HLCX 5003 another ex-DE.

SB coal train waiting to pull onto the 4-track. If you want to see un-patched power this would be the place. I saw halfa dozen SP Ac's and the last un-patched CNW C41-8

Almost.. un-modified. The yellow air unit stand out.

Running light east towards Bailey yard.

It is just me or does it seem that whatever brand of paint they used on the SD40M-2's have faded badly?

The Engine shop at Bailey yard. There is a fueling/sanding rack to the right of the building and there is one just west of the hump a quarter mile behind the building.

fuel/sand depot nest to the shop.

A closer look at the shop.

Just around the left corner on the front is a large lighted UP shield on the building.

Light power moving the the ready tracks. The hump is in the background.

Probably the two most common models of locomotive in this area.

Big reefer at the top of the hump.

The flat is hauling small containers of Calcium Carbide. The track betwwen the flat and the loco is the ramp to the hump.

Looking east at the fuel/sand terminal next to the loco shop. If only I could see far enough to get all those numbers.

Ex-CNW originally built for the hump at Proviso yard in Chicago.

One of two units paired for hump duty. I would say they borrowed that door from a CNW unit.

One of the hump sets.

2nd of 4 units up front for this coal train. Two of the four we ex-SP.

Hump set with a snoot.

Newest of the new lead a stack train west out of the yard.

Eastbound coal slipping in.

End unit of the coal train.

Changing out some wheels.

Any guesses what the white stuff is?

End unit on a OMAX coal train.

Still in the original Trailer Train red.

Former NAHX cylindrical hopper. Back when they used to put their logo on their cars.

Incoming auto rack.

I like that Progressive rail uses the old MNS scheme for its equipment. I think it looks good.

This is back before they shortened the name to BC Rail.

Notice the green sticker on it. It says "Home shop for repairs do not load. The WP disappeared 26 years ago. How do you send it to its home road?

Titanium Dioxide sure sounds cool!

Another hump set. They frequently pull out to this spot to switch tracks to tie onto another cut.

Accelerating out of the yard west.
