The '''Nebraska Midland Railroad''' was a narrow gauge steam line that was established in 1973 in [[North Platte, Nebraska]].  It operated only one year of passenger service there before having to look for a new base due to not being able to obtain the needed right of way.  It then relocated to [[Stuhr Museum]] in [[Grand Island, Nebraska]] and operated at least through the 1980s.  It used a {{RailGauge|3ft|lk=on}} [[Narrow gauge railway|narrow gauge]] {{whyte|2-8-0}} Baldwin steam engine that had originally run on the [[White Pass and Yukon Route]].<ref>See Reisdorff, James J., "Locomotive 69: From Alaska to Nebraska," (1984, South Platte Press).</ref> In 2001 Locomotive #69 was sold back to WP&Y & in 2008 it was restored to run again.
