ROCK ISLAND CRASH SITE OF 1894 | O Gauge Railroading On Line Forum

Not sure if some of the forum members remembers this accident. No for real, my son bikes and I run (try to keep up him now) on the old RI line south of Lincoln. Its about a 5 mile one way to this old crash site, so I remembered to take a camera this time. The old line has been abandon and turned into a bike trail. It goes all the way to Kansas. BNSF has a double line about 30 yards away that my son and I will watch trains on. So a long story short the State of Nebraska has set up a marker and info on the crash. Nick

Then we watched some passing engines while cooling down. Caught this KCS heading north then will go west to the Powder River Basin for more coal.
