    I was wondering about the Nebkota and its history.
    what units did, do they have and what exactly did the paint look like on the F7's that they had.
    I read they sold them to the Canadian Pacific.

    Believe I have also heard something recently, that Nebkota had filed to abandon part of their trackage.

    :sad:

    Well, not really. When they acquired it from the C&NW, it had been run into the ground for years. Shippers lost. Recovery from such a condition requires time, and a major capital investment. The latter rarely happens.

    Thanks Jeff, That's what I was looking for!
    Was thinking of getting some IM F7's and making them Nebkota.
    Make that a FP7 FP9 F7B, no F9 as of now from IM.
