Bob Krieger Cheyenne, WY Date: 07/27/16 15:12 Re: Spring in the Nebraska Sand Hills Author: kennbritt Thank you, Bob, for the trip down memory lane. I worked on BN rail relay gangs in '77, '78 and '79. We worked on trackage from Greenwood, NE to Alliance, Nebraska City to Lincoln, Alliance to Sterling, CO and Sterling to Madrid, NE. I passed through the territory you photographed last year on the way to watch the BNSF on Crawford Hill. Your photos capture the vistas of the Sandhills very well.

Andy Date: 07/27/16 16:44 Re: Spring in the Nebraska Sand Hills Author: JoCoLB The Sand Hills of Nebraska can provide some wonderful scenes for a railfan with a camera. You can easily get hooked on the area in a short time. Thanks for sharing some great "keeper" photos.
