Western Railroad Discussion > NKCR GrantDate: 10/26/20 09:21 NKCR Grant Author: thegoonshow Looks like the NKCR might run trains again between Holdrege, NE and Sterling CO. They just have to remove all of those stored cars first.

someone figured out you could make more storing a cars than running a railroad. Out Date: 10/26/20 10:37 Re: NKCR Grant Author: rbx551985 Here's a MAP link to this RR, from their official website: https://omnitrax.com/our-company/our-railroads/nebraska-kansas-colorado-railway-llc/

How useful will this raulroad be as a through route other than to ship unit trains east from the flood loaders on the west end? Will they rehab the busy parts and leave the mid-section as is? Really curious how they intend to utilze this grant and funding.
