  • In the heart of America there is a super-highway paved with steel running between North Platte and Gibbon Junction, Nebraska.
    It is known as the Kearney Subdivision and historically it has seen well over 100 trains per day. Traffic may be down from the line’s heyday in the early and mid-2000’s, yet this is still a fantastic place to watch trains.
    This program begins with a nighttime visit to the Golden Spike Tower as a summertime thunderstorm lights up Bailey Yard. We then turn east through Maxwell, the Buttermilk Curves, Gothenburg, Lexington, Kearney, Gibbon Junction, and many other noted locations before wrapping up at the BNSF flyover at Grand Island.
    Dominating the scene are monster double-coal trains that measure up to three miles in length, running to and from Wyoming’s Powder River Basin. In addition to coal are mixed manifests, hot-shot intermodals, and locals that service industry found along the route.
    Along with cameras on the ground, aerial coverage of the Buttermilk Curves and Gibbon Junction gives a whole new perspective to this amazing line.

    I used to live near Kearny avenue in Springfield, Missouri. I was so close to the train tracks that when the trains rolled past my house I would have to keep my Knick knacks from falling. I couldn’t move anywhere in that town without losing sleep from all the rail traffic

    That “rare” westbound manifest on the BNSF flyover was a H KCKLAU (Kansas City (Argentine)/Laurel, MT, works Lincoln. Eastbound manifests are H PASKCK (Pasco, WA-KC) and work Spokane, Laurel and Lincoln. These tracks also see unit grain trains to /from PNW ports and Midwest grain terminals in Iowa and Illinois - all in addition to the numerous coal trains.

    So I think I know what happened with that wind situation. Often when a storm dissipates it can "collapse" which can create a really strong outflow boundary and create really strong winds as a storm looks to be dying. That's a really wild situation you got caught up in!

    All of your videos are very impressive! Great videography, commentary is so good, history lessons are superb and a crazy amount of Uncle Pete's railroad. A question from the Sidney sub videos: Point of Rocks- is it located on Federal,, State, County, Native or private land? The geology is very interesting. If I ever make it to Nebraska I would like to spend time there knocking on the rocks with my geologist hammer just to see what is inside the rocks. I am thinking fossils and much more. Sorry about the smoke from here in Canada. Hopefully this summer will be quiet on the wildfire situation.

    • @7ideaproductions
      @7ideaproductions  Před měsícem +1

      Thanks for your kind words. Point of Rocks is on private land. The owners reside in nearby Potter. In small towns like that everybody knows everybody so inquiries could be made.

    Today we go to one of my favorite cameras on the Virtual Railfan website Kearney Sub. Three tracks three subdivisions all of them begin at Bailey Yard. East of Gibbons the rails split into the Fremont Sub, the Grand Island Sub, and the Marysville Sub. The Grand Island Sub enters Council Bluff from the south where it ties into the Falls City Sub which connects to Marysville Sub at Marysville. The Fremont Sub is the original UP mainline it goes through Columbus, Blair, Fremont, and Valley Junction before terminating at Council Bluff Yard in Omaha. The line continues east on CNW main becoming the Boone Sub and the Clinton and Geneva Sub before terminating at Proviso Yard in Chicago.

    What's funny is the railroad thinks they are saving money by building those "super" trains. But what corporate didn't consider is that the west bound main is the only single track long enough to hold a train that long.
