Ventured across the river today and caught a couple of UP trains.
--First up is are the lead units on a monster 3x3 wb manifest (in all likelihood, two good sized manifests combined into one train)
--The second train I saw was coming off the UP onto the BNSFs' Council Bluffs sub.

These are likely my last posts for the year as tomorrow's Creighton vs Villanova's men's basketball game is at noon and I probably won't get out after the game. Happy New Year to all!

Where do you think that UP Grain Train was going on the BNSF CB Sub? Yesterday I saw a UP Grain Train heard Westbound off the BNSF and back on to the UP. Second time I have seen the wesbound move, but never seen it east like you did.

That basketball game sure was fun. The arena was just electric!
 
I heard the DS give them a warrant for work on the CB Sub, so I think they might have been headed to the Bunge plant.

The game was fun, crazy noise level!
