Book Description
Alliance has been a railroad center ever since the Burlington Railroad established the city in 1888 while pushing tracks into the vast, open regions of Nebraska, South Dakota, Wyoming, Colorado, and Montana. As a hub for trains carrying a variety of agricultural and mining products to market, Alliance became headquarters in 1902 for the large and geographically diverse area of Burlington train operations called the Alliance Division. For 86 years, the Alliance Division controlled much of the region's rail traffic. Despite the loss of its division point status in 1988, Alliance continues to have its fortunes closely tied to the railroad, now known as the Burlington Northern & Santa Fe. Today, the BNSF funnels large numbers of coal trains through the city while transporting Power River Basin coal to power plants across the nation.

Book Description
Once heralded as the Queen City of the Plains, Alliance, Nebraska originated as a simple railroad junction called Grand Lake. Founded on true pioneer spirit in 1887, Alliance has grown from a farm and ranch community into a major retail center for Box Butte County. The Knight Museum showcases over 200 images in this new book, depicting the history and growth of Alliance during its 113-year history. Although there are many anonymous threads that make up the social fabric of Alliance, readers will recognize the more familiar faces of the Newberry family, Dr. Frank Knight, Miss Susan Frazier, and Miss Katherine Schill. While some landmarks are gone forever, such as the depot and the Coors Building, many timeless photographs remain to guide the reader down the main street of Alliances rich history. From the vintage image of the county courthouse to the beauty of western Nebraskas largest park system, readers will get a glimpse of the pioneering spirit that is still so abundant.
