News about the Fremont & Elkhorm Valley tourist RR in Nebraska being ordered to move its cars out of town.

Is F&EV a common carrier? If so, I don't think the city has a claim. If not, then they might make things difficult enough legally to hurt the group's finances.

They are a tourist/dinnertrain. They go from Fremont to Hooper & return on ex CNW track that went at one time to Norfolk & hooked up with the Cowboy line. At one point in time the motive power was ex Reader Railroad 1702 2-8-0 that I think is somewhere on the east coast now. I do not know if they are common carrier but have around for at least 20 years. Wonder what they did to make Hooper NE upset............Wooly

I don't know about common carrier status. But it has been affiliated with the Nebraska Chapter of the NRHS.
