Union Pacific Question

[Trainfanne54]

I have been watching the UP Omaha Sub recently. It has been really dead. Where have all the trains gone? Is their more going on the Blair Sub now? Even Downtown Omaha has been Quiet. I heard they were going too Double Track the blair sub. There also has not been that many coal trains. Just wondering. Thanks.
