The Kyle runs on the ex-Rock Island Chicago to Denver mainline from Bellville, Kansas to Limon, Colorado. And I think they run over an ex- MoP line to Solomon, Kansas to interchange with U.P.

There is a thread about Kyle started within the past month.

There used to be much more on the central and east ends of the railroad encompassing multiple UP and MoP branches along with other pieces of the Rock Island, notably Belleville to Clay Center to Manhattan/McFarland, KS....Kyle has NEVER run further west of Limon (CRIP trackage rights on UP/KP Limon-Denver were gone by 1983 following the end of BN directed service)
Mudchicken Nothing is worth taking the risk of losing a life over. Come home tonight in the same condition that you left home this morning in. Safety begins with ME.... cinscocom-west
