On February 3,2017 i went to Hastings with a newer car i drove. I got 3rd in bowling, ate lunch in Hastings. I filmed my first train northwest of Hastings. The weather was pretty chilly.
On February 9,2017 i went to Franklin to get the car licensed. I ate lunch there,too. I filmed trains along the Union Pacific from Keystone road to Gibbon Junction.
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.
