Western Railroad Discussion > Kyle RR 3099 West passed Wind FarmDate: 04/22/17 04:24 Kyle RR 3099 West passed Wind Farm Author: cozephyr Kyle RR 3099, SD45T-2, Kyle 5004, MK50-3 (1st trip west to Limon, CO) ex-Utah Railway 5004, and Kyle 3098 passed wind farm east of Burlington, Colorado, April 12, 2017. Record 2016 grain crop is still being moved by the Kyle Railroad in early 2017.

Date: 04/22/17 06:41 Re: Kyle RR 3099 West passed Wind Farm Author: Northern How many trains a day run on the Kyle Railroad? Is the freight base primarily seasonal grain traffic? Does the Kyle RR have trackage rights into Denver on the UP? Too bad the Rock Island closed the line east of Lincoln as it would give the Kyle a connection to the Iowa Interstate.

Date: 04/22/17 14:34 Kyle RR Traffic Author: cozephyr How many trains a day run on the Kyle Railroad?
Two or three trains per day depending on crew availability. Phillipsburg has a switcher assigned. April 12 I found eastbound train tied down on west side of Phillipsburg, Kansas. Is the freight base primarily seasonal grain traffic? Yes, grain traffic is primary traffic on the Kyle. Does the Kyle RR have trackage rights into Denver on the UP? No Kyle trains operating west of Limon, CO. UP interchanges with Kyle at Limon. Image - November 16, 2016 at Flagler, CO, eastbound Kyle 3099, SD45T-2 at dusk. Edited 2 time(s).

The wind mills in the background provided some excellent subjects... That's the Milky Way running lower right to upper left. Interesting country out there!
