South Morrill (UP) Union Pacific, BNSF
Bridgeport, NE is the location of a lot of railroad action most days! BNSF's Valley Sub joins in with the Angora Sub here. A wye allows trains coming off the Valley Sub to turn north toward Alliance or south toward Colorado and the Brush Sub. In addition, UP's two main track South Morrill Sub cuts through the scene, crossing the Angora Sub on a diamond. In this shot, a UP coal empty heading for the Powder River Basin (in the foreground) heads west as a BNSF coal empty, also heading or the Powder River Basin (in the background) heads west as well.

There is a fairly substantial car maintenance facility located in Bridgeport, NE. The facility is owned and operated by Progress Rail. It connects with UP's South Morrill Sub on one side and BNSF's Valley Sub on the other, offering services for either railroad. As you can see, open hoppers are the primary thing maintained at this facility.
