Union Pacific action from West of Kearney to Grand Island,NE on April 24...



Brad's railfanning series



      I decided to go film along the Union Pacific line. I saw a train heading into Wood River. I filmed a manifest train in Wood River in which my co-worker does live near the Union Pacific tracks. After that, i went to Cabela's in Kearney to go use the restroom. After that, i see 2 union pacific trains in Kearney. I had to pick which train i should go after. I pick the intermodal train over the loaded coal train. I filmed the intermodal train west of Kearney. It was a great choice because of another train that has 7 Union Pacific units. The intermodal train had 4 units. For a grand total of 11 units.


      After that, i went to Gibbon to film some more Union Pacific train in Gibbon. In between, I had to get 3 2-liters of Pepsi products at dollar general. I had a spicy italian sub from Subway, & did 2 new food reviews on youtube. I originally wanted this video to be my 2900th video, but that didn't happen oh,well. I filmed more Union Pacific trains from west of Gibbon to the last train of the day west of Grand Island. I ended up filming 21 trains.

Union Pacific Action from Kearney to Gibbon,NE 3 20 2016

Here is my video link seen here:https://youtu.be/juSnEynYBQA

       Here is my story, I decided to go do some railfanning around the Kearney area along the Union Pacific's Kearney Subdivision main line. I tried to catch the first grain train from Gibbon to Kearney on US 30. The train was gone as i had to slow down for the city of Kearney. I went thru Kearney to 30th Ave. So i turned left to the overpass. Before i went to the overpass, i turned right to the gravel road to make a right turn. I drove around and see some sandhill cranes near the Union Pacific tracks. I stayed on gravel to Odessa on US 30 and went back the way i came. 

     Until i see the manifest train headed for Kearney. The train stopped in Kearney and switched going into Kearney. Around 12:30 in the afternoon, i got my food in which before i did a couple food reviews including the newest sub at subway. I also saw a radio personally in Gibbon. We didn't talk at all. I went blank on that. I was like in my own mind "Who is this person?"  He saw my tripod and my camcorder in the car. After all that, i went to Gibbon Junction and filmed trains there for about 2 hours. The Marysville Sub was busy and also ended up with the engineer saying to me "Hey,Brad" twice. I was stoned on what happened in my own mind. One by a radio personally, & two by an engineer.  On the results, i filmed 21 trains and i had a great time filming trains.
