I visited with my mom in the morning and took a ride in the afternoon. Moving trains were few, much like back in the 1970's. There was 1 empty coal moving west at Oreapolis but it was windy and smoky from the fires in Canada and Northern Minn. I tried the 600mm lens there but it was to shaky. I stopped at Mynard and Murray on the Missouri Pacific. I took a picture looking north just to see if I could find a dip in track Ala E.M. Bell. Not as impressive as his neck of the woods.

KCS in the BNSF Council Bluffs yard. There is a lot of changes in store for the Council Bluffs railroad scene. I noticed some digging under the interstate highway bridge that crosses over the old CGW ROW. And a lot of piles of ballast here and there. More on that as it progresses.

Don't know what it does but it has a bunch of parts.
 
Thanks Crow. They are probably getting close to laying all the new rail on the south end. Looks there will be a wye and some connections to the south. Hopefully Brad can afford a helicopter ride and get some new pics of the changes. When I was in Falls City Ne a couple of months ago Herzog had a bunch of hoppers and other equipment in the MP/UP yard, but I wasn't in the mood to walk up on the Hwy bridge to shoot pictures. It was cold and windy. Tom
