Meet TPLX 1776
The Prairie Line’s Tribute to America’s 250th Anniversary
In celebration of America’s 250th anniversary, The Prairie Line proudly introduced TPLX 1776, a refurbished red, white and blue locomotive dedicated to U.S. military members past and present, including veterans on our own team.
The number 1776 honors the year our nation declared independence, while the locomotive’s American flag design reflects the spirit of service, dedication and perseverance that continues to move America forward.
Designed in-house by Prairie Line team member Abigail Van Dyke, TPLX 1776 was inspired in part by her own family’s military service and created as a heartfelt thank-you to those who serve.
Follow the Journey! TPLX 1776 will continue appearing throughout The Prairie Line’s operations, community events and company celebrations. We’ll share photos, stories and updates here as the journey continues.
Honoring the past. Moving forward together.
