Western Railroad Discussion > Rapid City, Pierre and Eastern RR queryDate: 06/09/25 17:25 Rapid City, Pierre and Eastern RR query Author: GCCIteacher Does anyone know the operating schedule of the Rapid City to Chadron Line?....Last I head it was nocturnal but I thought I would get a current update.
Tom Date: 06/09/25 19:30 Re: Rapid City, Pierre and Eastern RR query Author: P I wish I knew. I stopped by Oelrichs last summer and even though the rails were shiny, it was pretty quiet out there. Nothing going on midday at the Chadron yard either. Plenty of stuff to look at there, but very difficult access.

With the severance of the Cowboy Line in Nebraska, this is not a thrugh route anymore. I suspect there is some interchange with the BNSF at Crawford.

Usually the road train is parked at the Jct in the morning waiting for the Chadron crew to take it to Crawford.
However, I did hear them leave town once while the sun was up in the summer months but I was too far west chasing the Belle Fourche Turn west. Date: 06/12/25 08:54 Re: Rapid City, Pierre and Eastern RR query Author: GCCIteacher Any idea what days they run?
