Nebkota FP9A 54 and BN GP39V 2977         
Nebkota Railway (NRI) FP9A's 54 and 55 were in the BN engine terminal at Alliance, Nebraska. Nebkota was formed in 1994 to operate 75 miles of former C&NW track in Nebraska, and the F's look like they haven't seen much service yet! NRI bought two ex-CP FP9A's from VIA, and they were subsequently sold back to CP.
