Somewhere west of Belle Fourche
I'd went west in search of the last few operating CNW GP30's in September 1988. These units had been stored for a long time and were reactivated by CNW as they were to be sold to the FRVR operation in WI. The three 30's that CNW made operational that were to be included in the sale were working out of Chadron to Belle Fourche. On September 12, 1988 I ran into a very late running BFPRA out west of Belle Fourche on the line to Colony. It was nearly dark and the train was operating eastbound so the light sucked but here's my CNW 30 Thursday shot. 815, 814, 831, 4117, 4502 and 4562 roll east. I tried looking at Google Earth to see where the industry to the left is but couldn't really see anything that resembled it now west of Belle Fourche.
