Western Railroad Discussion > CSX in Nebraska

I am well aware that CSX is an Eastern Railroad, but, I hope you'll make a geographical exception... In July 2013, 2 CSX EMD locomotives managed to find their way into Lancaster County, Nebraska on an empty BNSF coal train. These pictures were taken outside of Greenwood, Nebraska on a one lane dirt road, one of many you'll find in Nebraska if you've never visited.

I have no clue if the locomotives made it to Wyoming with their train, or if power was swapped in Lincoln or Alliance. Either way, they made for a welcome change from the stream of orange that calls the Creston Subdivision home. I would guess this is one of the PRB trains that goes to Detroit or elsewhere past Chicago, hence the CSX power. I can't recall the reporting marks on the hoppers, but they don't appear to be DEEX. Any input is appreciated.

2. Rolling along the gently swaying wheat field, guarded by a farmer's barbed wire fence.

Thanks for looking, -Dalton

My dad told me a while back he saw a coal train go through York, NE with all CSX power leading. It is probably this train. That would mean it at least made it to Ravenna, NE.
