Insane Saturday afternoon in Grand Island,NE on January 26,2019

       I arrived going railfanning around 11 in the morning. At around noon, went to firehouse subs and got me a cajun spicy chicken sub and ate at Ashley Park and doing my food review there. Around 12:15 in the afternoon, BNSF eastbounds were side-by-side until 1p.m.. The loaded coal train was sitting until around 2:30 after 6 westbound empty hopper trains headed west. Finally, that coal train and other coal trains behind him leaving for a while. 

      It got worse, eastbound trains were side-by-side. There was train after train after train from 4:15p.m. until dark. It was very busy along the Ravenna Sub for all of the eastbound traffic. I talked to a county board member and they will talk about that at a city/county meeting.

Stick in the mud while railfanning

      I was out filming Union Pacific trains at Gibbon Junction. I got stuck at Gibbon Junction. The ground was wet instead of dry. There was snow cover at Gibbon Junction. I finally got my car outta here.
