[CBQ] Operations at Grand Island Nebraska

["james" <jamessandrin@yahoo.com>]

Photos have been taken of Geeps and SD9s at the Grand Island Depot, presumably 
for local use, usually from the Lincoln pool of power on a rotating basis. How 
were crews assigned to work the industries and UP interchange?  Were they out 
of the Lincoln-Ravenna pool or was it a bid type of assignment?  Also, how were 
crews working the C-GI trains actually assigned to that run?

Concerning the physical plant:  What is known of something called the Beltline? 
 Is this the connecting line from the small Q/BN yard East of the Q/UP crossing 
to the UP yard on the East side of town?  What local industries were worked by 
the Q or jointly worked with the UP?

While this information would be interesting for it's own value, I am trying to 
gather some insights for a possible article for the Bulletin. With luck, 
perhaps we can provide some answers to questions posed by a group of photos 
recently presented to the BRHS by a retired UP employee. Thanks for your 
attention.  James Sandrin
