A few from last Monday beginning in Council Bluffs IA and wrapping up in and around Missouri Valley IA. UP 3000, build date 12-23-16, was one of five stored in MoValley. Trucks showed very little grime-new power sitting unused.
-
Some UP 4141 shots of today's move from the Omaha display site to the Heritage shops in Council Bluffs IA.
-
I probably should've moved over some.
-
A couple more before the display ends tomorrow at noon.
-
Today's catch in Bellevue NE. Had hoped for better sun, but MOW issues to the north delayed arrival.
-
Light power move today as it was about to go under Council Bluffs Broadway overpass.
-
Tom-it just occurred to me that there is a truck mounted blower labeled Air Force One that I've seen in the past used to clear snow from turnouts. That would make sense given Sunday's snowfall.
-
Tom-someone was pulling a funny, 4141 has been stored at the North Little Rock shops and was activated from there for the trip direct to Spring TX.
-
Back on Aug 21 2008, I caught UP 4141 in revenue service at Fremont NE.
-
Oreapolis had a little action on a brisk Sunday afternoon. BNSF 5671 is doing its best Alco impersonation in the third shot. Not photographed were two nb manifests on UP's Falls City Sub which crosses at a diamond just to the rear (west) of the train in the first shot.
-
A couple from Oreapolis NE on a sunny, but chilly 11/13/18.
-
Good shots Tom. I've also noticed BNSF power by the shops quite often over the last few months and wondered the same as you.
-
Forgot I grabbed a couple on Nov 7th, near Crescent IA. Third shot is by Omaha's Amtrak Station--not sure if they were installing a new antenna or removing an old one. The one on the right seems to be like most of the ones I've seen installed for PTC operation.
-
Three from late October when Fall was still hanging around.
-
On 10/4/18 caught a westbound manifest at Greenwood NE, BNSF Creston Sub.
-
A UP manifest rolls north (TT east) on the Omaha sub at Monument Rd in Council Bluffs IA on a rainy Sep 29th afternoon.
-
Some recent shots...
* A tagged reefer I saw in Lexington NE while coming home North Platte.
* Some shots from Oreapolis NE taken with the 300mm lens I rented for the North Platte trip.

Thanks Tom. Going out Thursday traffic was sparse. It was so-so Friday and Saturday, I ventured out to Sutherland yesterday and saw one train during the two hours I sat there. On the way home this morning I caught about 6-8 westbounds and only 1 eastbound that I caught up with at Kearney.
-
Some more from the North Platte area.
-
A few miles west of Omaha for a few days for North Platte's annual RailDays. First pair taken at the east end of Buttermilk Curve which is just east of Brady NE. Second pair are from downtown North Platte.
