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.   

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.

I left the house at 9:48 Sunday morning to get to Hastings to film BNSF trains. I got 2 BNSF trains in downtown Hastings and 1 at the grain elevator in Hastings. I went to Burger King for lunch and i got a halloween whopper combo with medium fries and a medium coke. My meal cost me $8.50. I did the video of halloween whopper near the Adams Central Road crossing along the Union Pacific's Marysville Subdivision. From 12:55p.m. to 2:50 p.m. i filmed trains along the Marysville Subdivision. Then, i went to near Nebraska highway 10 crossing east of Kearney. And then i headed east towards Gibbon to get a ice cream cone at subway in Gibbon. My snack cost me $2.44. After that, I videotaped trains from Gibbon Junction to Alda. I ended videotaping trains at 5:57p.m. on Sunday,October 4,2015. From home to videotaping trains and back took me 8 hours,9 minutes.
