NMRA Nebraska West Central Division
28th Annual Train Show

D&N Event Center
North Platte, Nebraska

The NMRA Nebraska West-Central Division train show in North Platte, Nebraska was held on April 9-10, 2022. The show was our second show in as many weeks and went really well for us.

This was the first time we’ve done this show since 2012. the club was able to also rail fan around the Bailey Yard complex in North Platte. An average of 139 trains and over 14,000 railroad cars pass through Bailey Yard every day, and the yard sorts approximately 3,000 cars daily using the yard’s two humps yard. So there was plenty of train watching outside the show itself.

Estes Park, CO.

Rails In The Rockies train show was held on September 24th and 25th, 2022 and celebrated its 25th year in 2022 and our club is honored to have been part of the show through the years.

Overall the show was great, it was the first show for the revamped cement modules we worked on through the summer. The group had a great time, in addition to the show we toured a Denver & Salt Lake layout and had a cookout at the YMCA of the Rockies Saturday night instead of going out this year. At the end of the show we were given 25th anniversary patches by the organizer.
