Description

Alliance has been a railroad center ever for the reason that Burlington Railroad established the city in 1888 whilst pushing tracks into the vast, open regions of Nebraska, South Dakota, Wyoming, Colorado, and Montana. As a hub for trains carrying quite a lot of agricultural and mining products to market, Alliance became headquarters in 1902 for the large and geographically diverse area of Burlington train operations referred to as the Alliance Division. For 86 years, the Alliance Division controlled much of the region’s rail traffic. Regardless of the lack of its division point status in 1988, Alliance continues to have its fortunes closely tied to the railroad, now referred to as the Burlington Northern & Santa Fe. These days, the BNSF funnels large numbers of coal trains during the city whilst transporting Power River Basin coal to power plants around the nation.
