- Running nearly 220 miles between Cheyenne, Wyoming and North Platte, Nebraska, the Sidney Subdivision is a double-track main line that has carried Union Pacific trains for over 150 years. Following the route of the historic Pony Express and Overland Stage, a parade of increasingly long and heavy trains traverse the southern Nebraska Panhandle.
In part one of this two-part series, we will cover the western half of the Sidney Subdivision beginning in Cheyenne. Trains climb east over Archer Hill then sprint into Nebraska at Pine Bluff. We will visit several small towns, many of which started as sidings on the first transcontinental railroad.
Witness huge manifest trains pulling up to 200 cars and measuring up to three miles long. Adding to the variety, unit trains of grain, coal, and intermodal, including hot-shot Z trains sprint across the Cornhusker State heading to and from Bailey Yard, the largest railroad classification yard in the world.
Our summertime visit coincided with UP Big Boy number 4014’s eastbound excursion across the subdivision and we will see the giant 4,000 class engine at several locations.

This is a great video! My mom was from hastings and my grandfather was a crane operator out of Plat. I have a U.P. tattoo on my right arm. Born and raised in mesa AZ (home of S.P. and now U.P.) I have been a loyal fan for this rail and had a neighbor across from who worked for S.P. out of phoenix!!
Bailey Yard is on my bucket list
Same bro.
Worthwhile, but very limited access. Huge, but difficult sight lines
Go to the golden spike tower it is worth it
49:45 I saw that exact train rolling through Nampa and Kuna, ID on 8/1/21. Knew it looked familiar, matched up my photos and, indeed, same exact train. Small world!
Glad that some people still chase through my home rails of the Sidney Subdivision. Awesome catches, keep it up.
Just when I thought I couldn’t enjoy 7Idea videos more, they go & add John Deere combines to them. Uploads have been pure gold lately. Thank you!
Amazing mister
I have the DVD, it was great especially after featuring Big Boy 4014. 4014 is my number two engine and one of my favorite steamers along with Daylight 4449 and Norfolk and Western J class 611!
Sidney Sub today. As a bonus we will get to see Big Boy make his first trip over the line.
super video 😍😍❤❤
everytime i see a new video i just have to click
Really enjoyed the overhead look or drone part of filming very interesting part of the world thanks
Love this video!
Excellent!! I like it!
Great video can you please make a video that includes north platte? I’m hoping to head there over this summer and want to learn more about the rails there!
Happy Railroading.❤
At 1:38:14 made me laugh so hard 😂😂😂😂😂😂 (now if can get a over under shot) (train horn) (that will do) 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
Now that’s an awesome ending on 1:19:20👍
I like train videos on CZcams 👍
Let the hunt begin👉🏽🚂🔝
4:33 Once again every journey over the Transcontinental Railroad has to begin someplace and that someplace is here Steam Shop Yard in Cheyenne. Ed and the boys are getting Big Boy ready soon they will travel east over the Sidney Sub to Bailey Yard.
TOP.
I would like to see Union Pacific make one novelty engine where the yellow and red on the locomotives are flipped, i.e;, the locomotive is all red with yellow numbers and lettering. It would be something that railfans would get a kick out of seeing and capturing on video.
11:38 isn’t that the S curve the UP challenger 3985 pulled a intermodal train?
It is. Its the same curve
Sunflowers do attract bees, mainly Honey Bees.
Have u ever done video in Saginaw Texas BNSF
Hi i don't its and a thanks i like you video
I love the look of the Big Boys... always had as kid... but I've come to realise with this one being restored, you get no "chuff-chuff" sound from them... what is that... they don;t sound like traditional Steam Engines... and there's twice as much steam power more or less so I thought they would have sounded so good.
Bit disappointing from a certain point of view...! ...
Whatever though... they are a magnificent Steam engine... and will always be my favourite.
In this case, Big Boy isn't working a grade and therefore not having to do much work. Especially with such a small train. It's amazing how loud the 4014 is when it is working.
Because there are two pairs of cylinders that go in and out of sync you don't get the chuff chuff that a two cylinder tends to give. When goi g at any sort of speed it sounds more like a big jet. So where there is a video that I made of 4014 and 844 leaving Laramie and though the video isn't great the sound is and you can hear the difference between the 4014 and the 2 cylinder 8444as they go past working hard.
"Pan Handle"... I finally decided to find out why you often hear about Americans calling part of a state a Pan handle....! (I'd never heard of a Nebraska Pan handle)
Does anyone know who started this whole.. "Pan Handle" thing off...?
@FalconXE302 9 States have whats called a "pan handle". Alaska, Connecticut, Florida, Idaho, Maryland, Nebraska, Oklahoma, Texas and West Virginia. According to the internet, "a part of a land area (such as a State) that is narrow and sticks out from a larger area". Oklahoma is the only State that looks like a pan, that has a handle. And I think it should be the only "pan handle" State. So I guess I was no help on the question you have of who started the pan handle name. Lets just say Peter Pan came up with it, maybe?
Just Google "What is a panhandle?" and look for the World Atlas entry. The technical definition for this in geographical terms is a "saliant." Calling it a panhandle for parts of states came about in the time frame leading up to American Civil War ---the Compromise of 1850.
