CNW Rapid City

In March, 1994 I had to make a visit to Rapid City, SD on family business. I did manage to squeeze in a bit of railfanning. I caught the Rapid City switch engine in charge of GP7 4169 as well as an inbound and outbound road freight on the Colony, Wyoming line. At this point the Colony Line and the Rapid City trackage were isolated from the rest of the CNW system account the sale of the Winona-Rapid City line to Dakota Minnesota & Eastern. After the CNW-UP merger it only took UP a year to sell these lines to the DM&E also.
