While staying with friends in Gering, Nebraska in the summer on 1991, I was able to visit the Chicago and North Western coal operations at South Morrill, Nebraska. It was exciting to see their brand new Dash-8 locomotives and SD60's with coal trains from the Powder River Basin. I was especially excited to see the Wyoming Centennial locomotive. It was one of the first Chicago & North Western locomotives I drew.
We also got to visit Alliance and see Burlington Northern. There I got to see Burlington Northern's SD60M's including locomotive 1991 and hand out prints of my drawings to crews. This stop was a highlight of my 1991 trip and certainly made me want to come home and begin drawing the many trains I had seen.
