| Nebraska railfan safari | |||
| Tom McNair, Will Rasmussen, and myself drove late night west across Iowa, destination Council Bluffs, where we would begin a 3 day rail rampage into Nebraska on this Spring weekend. Scouting the next morning, we happened upon information that the UP business train at Council Bluffs, with the 6936 leading, would be heading west later that weekend. With that info tucked away, we photographed the IAIS shops, made the local rounds, and headed west to Lincoln, NE. Once there we launched out onto the Alliance sub, capturing images of BNSF coal trains before returning to the UP at Grand Island. We intercepted the UP business train westbound took and took it west as far as Gibbon before breaking off the chase. Before heading home, we captured action on the triple tracked UP, where a headlight was always in view. Crossing back to Iowa we followed an eastbound IAIS train out of Council Bluffs across Iowa. | |||
