Randy:
I think the Ashland to Prague line was first designated as a "Spur Track with Yard Limits, Rule 908 in Effect" when the Omaha, Lincoln, and Wymore Divisions were consolidated into one timetable. Omaha, Lincoln, and Wymore ETT #1 is dated April 29, 1956,
and shows this line as a spur.

Subject: [CBQ] Prague branch as yard spur (?) [1 Attachment]
[Attachment(s) from Randy Gordon-Gilmore included below]
All,
I currently don't have access to my electronic archives, but continue to search online for what information I can find on the Ashland-to-Prague (1942-1982)--from 1887-1941, Ashland-to-Schuyler-- branch line.
I found some scans of early BN employee timetables, and was surprised to see on the Lincoln ETT of 1968-05-10 and the Omaha ETT of 1970-03-03, that the branch was called the "Prague Spur", and the whole branch was within the Ashland yard limits. I'm attaching
a cropped and reduced scan.
I'd appreciate it if anyone with 1950's and 1960's ETT's could look and see how early the branch was designated as a spur. For that matter, if I may be so bold to request, I'd appreciate scans of the Prague Branch/Spur section of any ETT's within that period.
Thank you,
Randy
