where and what railroad?
Author: todude

Photo 1 is looking straight east.

Photo 2 is looking west through a rather nasty cut...

Let the guesses start, and I hope it takes longer than the last one. :)

Could it be the former CB&Q line between Cheyenne, Wyoming and Sterling, Colorado in between Briggsdale and New Raymer?

Can safely say that it's *not* in Florida.

Could easily be the Kansas Flinthills

Original right-of-way of the UP climbing west out of Marysville with the doubletrack main now located to the right in the first photo and to the left in the second?

Would this be the former Milwaukee Road double track between Bristol, S Dakota and Andover, S Dakota?

I'd bet it's on the RI in western IA, but I can't come up with a firm location.

Not the Milw double track and not the Milw but South Dakota is the right state.

Or somewhere along the western end of that CNW line that ran between Watertown and Blunt; still operated between Blunt and Onida by the latest CNW successor.

If not, perhaps the Winner Branch.

Isn't this the line that went to Conde or Doland then headed towards Aberdeen and I know the Northwestern headed north somewhere there to Groton. I believe it wasn't the Northwestern to Aberdeen but the Minneapolis & St. Louis Railroad
