Alliance: Carhenge and BNSF Division Point
Alliance is the largest community in the western Sandhills, serving as the seat of Box Butte County in the Nebraska Panhandle. The town was founded in 1888 as a division point on the Burlington and Missouri River Railroad, which later became the Burlington Northern and today is part of BNSF Railway. The BNSF rail yard and locomotive maintenance facility remain major employers, and the line carries heavy coal traffic from the Powder River Basin in Wyoming down through the community.
North of town stands Carhenge, a replica of Stonehenge built entirely from thirty-eight vintage American automobiles stacked and arranged to match the proportions of the English original. Jim Reinders built the installation in 1987 as a memorial to his father, and the site has become a legitimate tourist draw, attracting around 80,000 visitors per year. The surrounding Car Art Reserve includes other automotive sculptures.
The Sandhills surrounding Alliance make up the largest intact mixed-grass prairie in the United States and one of the largest sand dune fields in the Western Hemisphere. Cattle ranching dominates land use, with many individual operations exceeding ten thousand acres. The Knight Museum and Sandhills Center in Alliance covers the history of Box Butte County, the railroad, and Sandhills ranching traditions.
