Re: [CBQ] CB&Q in South Dakota

[Norm Metcalf <metcalf@attglobal.net>]

The CBQ's only routes in South Dakota were the mainline through Crawford 
NE, Edgemont SD and Newcastle WY plus the lines from Edgemont to the 
Deadwood-Lead area (including their subsidiary Deadwood Central, which 
was partially electrified) and branches to such places as Hot Springs, 
Keystone and Reno. The branches north of Edgemont are either abandoned 
or operated by the Black Hills Central.
    In contrast the BNSF operates hundreds of miles of ex-Milwaukee and 
Great Northern trackage in South Dakota.  However, none of it goes near 
Rapid City.  See their website at www.bnsf.com for a map.
