From this elevated vantage point, you can really see the horseshoe curves built to get the Butte Sub up and over Crawford Hill. As you can see, there are two main tracks the entire distance through the curves. Indeed, there are two main tracks for over 60 miles on this part of the Butte Sub, from Ardmore, SD all the way to Hemingford, NE. In this shot, a loaded coal train makes its way up Crawford Hill. The last two units on the train to the left are actually manned helpers based out of Crawford.
