Trains - Nobles Rock

The Nobles Rock Railroad (NRR) operated about 40 miles of former Chicago and Northwestern (CNW) trackage in it's namesake counties, Nobles and Rock, in southwest Minnesota. NRR interchanged with BNSF on the west end and UP at their eastern end.

NRR ceased operation in late-2000 due to bankruptcy of it's parent company and wss succeeded by the Minnesota Southern Railway (MSWY). However, everything I saw at their Luverne, MN, headquarters still showed Nobles Rock. You will note the similarity of paint scheme with the SCXY; leasor ILSX was an apparent owner/partner in both RR's.
