Union Pacific locomotive issues on September 9,2018 in Gibbon,NE

         I went to Gibbon to film trains along the Union Pacific’s main line. I got a bunch of trains. This auto train stalled in Gibbon. I hanged around Gibbon waiting for the auto train to leave but it never happened till I leave around 4 in the afternoon.

        The auto train was backing up and hopefully get the crossing to clear but it never happened till I leave around 4 in the afternoon. I walked to subway in Gibbon I used my camera to shoot video and my smartphone to take pictures to post on my Instagram account.

        I did a live video of the stalled train on the group on facebook called ”Nebraska Railroads”. Dave the engineer commented on my post about the eight locomotives on the stalled train as is. “Of the 8 locomotives on the head-end of this train only 3 were working. The rest were either bad ordered or past due for inspection. The 4th unit, UP2624, had a traction motor lock up.”

        The Marysville Sub had to use the eastbound track to get the trains east and west on the track. The Kearney Sub had to wait for this to clear the track. When it’s clear for the Kearney sub to clear. It got busy after I ate my lunch at Gibbon Junction around 2 in the afternoon. I finished filming trains around 5 in the evening in Alda.

BNSF & UP's Action from Hastings to Wood River,NE on October 11,2015

I video taped 20 trains from Hastings on the BNSF's Hastings Subdivision, to Alda on the Union Pacific's Kearney Subdivision. I drove to Hastings to see a empty hopper train on the BNSF. After that, i drove around to the imperial mall and there was not anything to eat there besides pizza hut. I drove to kenesaw to see if there was a subway there, nothing there. I drove from Kenesaw to Gibbon. When i wanted to turn right at the t-intersection, the railroad crossing is closed at the time. I decided to take gravel roads to the road that will lead me into Gibbon. I turned right at the t-intersection to drive to Gibbon and found it. I went to subway in Gibbon for my lunch break from the trains. I ate my lunch under the tree near the Union Pacific triple track main line near Kearney. I filmed trains during, and after i ate my sweet onion chicken teriyaki sub and ice tea. After that, I went west towards Kearney and turned left at Antelope Ave crossing and headed east from cherry avenue crossing to poole avenue crossing for about 1/2 hour. After that, i head back to Lakota Road crossing and catch more Union Pacific action. After that, i headed east to Range road crossing where i filmed 3 trains there. After that, i headed west to pawnee road crossing to catch an ethanol train. After that, i went to the crosssing west of Wood River near the ethanol plant and that's it.
