My rail road, the Nebraska Central Railroad, (NCRC), is loosely is based on the northeast Nebraska railroad of the same name, it is an amalgamation, of my experiences both on and off the railroad. My Nebraska Central, is part of the transportation division of Gaspers Land & Cattle. The railroad is one of the companies, under the Nebraska Central Industries, (NCI) umbrella, and is run by AJ Gaspers, who is a bit of a curmudgeon, and even though he would vehemently deny it, a closet foamer, which kinda explains some of the things the railroad does. Under the Nebraska Central Industries umbrella, is a locomotive leasing company, which leases out mostly EMD/GE locomotives, but oddly, includes some old Baldwin, and ALCo locomotives, mostly with eastern railroad heritage, (part of the closet foamer thing). NCI runs a large shop at Norfolk, for not only its leasing business, but for the NCRC as well. On the NCRC, there are 21 grain elevators, 11 of which are 100+ car load out facilities. There four ethanol plants on the line, two scrap dealers, popcorn plant, fertilizer terminal, Nucor steel mill, Vulcraft cold finishing plant, and numerous other industries. The newest one, being Preferred Sands, which harvest the dredged sands of the Loup power canal, for use in fracking operations, this new industry, generates 30,000 cars a year. Mr Gaspers, is close friends with the owners of the KYLE RR, IAIS RR, and the Utah Belt, with power from these railroads showing up on occasion.
