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 regions 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.
