The Omaha, Lincoln and Beatrice Railway {{reporting mark|OLB}}, "The Big Red Line", was founded in 1903 as an attempt to carry passengers between the three Nebraska cities.[1] Although it never extended outside Lincoln, the OL&B currently exists as a Class III switching railroad in Lincoln. It has been owned by NEBCO, Inc.[2] since 1929.

Operations

OL&B loads grain for ADM and Ag Processing Inc, delivers lumber to Lincoln Lumber Company, and interchanges between BNSF and Union Pacific.[3] They also operate a shop for car repairs and provide mobile car repair and track maintenance.

Known customers[4]

  • Lincoln Lumber Company
    • Lincoln Lumber sits on what is left of the Union-Lincoln branch of the Missouri Pacific Railway. It was purchased from Union Pacific around the year 2001. Currently due to the condition of the track, OL&B will only run locomotive #12 down this stretch of track due to weight concerns of their GP 38-3 #47. Lincoln Lumber owns the trackage[5]
  • ADM Farmland
  • Ag Processing Inc.
  • Snyder Industries
  • Ready Mixed Concrete Co (owned by parent company NEBCO [6])
