On a short journey around Council Bluffs we find a pair of KCS units, A pentagon shaped switchstand flag near the Bunge plant south of Council Bluffs and a BNSF loco with a palindrome for a number. It's 60+ degrees today. Tomorrow's high should be 20. Back into winter we go.Tom
I didn't even think that. I was just so excited to see the palindrome. I looked up on the all knowing internet, and those numbers are called inversions. Palindromic inversion???
If you haven't heard it in while, go to You Tube and look for "The Ballad of Palindrome" by Riders in the Sky. All the palindromes you'll ever need. LOL
Starting to see where it looks like the tracks are going to go. I see some angled bridge abutments on the I-29 and they are piling a lot of dirt on the east side. Either the highway is going over the railroad or visa versa. I also see grading and stakes in the ground north of CBEK. Need you to get the helicopter out and take some aerial shots.
