Newcastle

C. Vision Productions invites you to our favorite railroad location, Newcastle, Wyoming. This old coal mining town sits on the east central edge of Wyoming and borders the western slopes of the beautiful Black Hills. It is here that the ex-CB&Q main line from Alliance, Nebraska to Billings, Montana weaves its way through Newcastle. Many scenic spots along this line include long sweeping curves and an original depot that still looks as good today as it did in the steam era.

This line is BNSF's Black Hills Subdivision. It handles numerous coal trains on a daily basis. In this production, C. Vision captures images from 1990 thru 1994 in the Burlington Northern years. SD-40 dash 2's, C-30 dash 7's and SD-60M's take charge of coal trains in the BN era. There are also several LMX B-39 dash 8's and B.N. B-30 dash 7A's in charge of general freights. These historic trains are combined with SD-70 MAC's, SD-70 ACe's, Dash 9-44AC's and ES-44AC's that were captured in 2006 and 2007 in the BNSF years.

Don't miss this show as it captures two different time frames and documents the progression of the BNSF in "Newcastle"!

i live just 30 miles from Newcastle, in Upton, and we get all those trains thru here..i miss the old days of the SD40-2's and their turbo's whining as the pulled freight and coal thru here

[clasko69]

I very much miss those days as well. My fondest memories is of the Oakway SD-60's or the SD-60M horns echoing off the hills as the trains came through town. I also miss the single track, especially at Pedro. It seems they are staging trains there and it blocks the curve.

Kinda makes wonder if they're gonna double track that section between Pedro and Osage..kinda stupid to leave a single track in that place, when there's double from Gillette to Alliance, except for there.

i no what you mean about the SD60s and SD60Ms. the most beautiful K3LA horns ever. the SD40-2s were perfect. AND LMX i miss them. sadly i was only 1 year old in july 1993. so i was too young to appreciate them. but im glad you could. thank you for documenting the cool BN trains.
