I saw that because the lighting certain favored Main 1 if you wanted to capture the entire curve. Still, with the green trees in the area, this shot on Main 3 is not terrible. UP has actually gotten rid of a lot of passenger equipment recently, which is why the train is hauling a lot of UP freight rolling stock.

Photo ID: 110967 Date Shot Photo By Sunday, September 1, 2024 Kevin Morgan Location Times Viewed Buttermilk Curve Brady, NE 49 (Add a Comment) Subdivision Railroad Kearney (UP) Union Pacific Many people think of Nebraska as flat and not particularly scenic. While that is no doubt true in parts of the state, you can find some pretty scenic areas and nice curves. One curve in particular that is always worth a visit is Buttermilk Curve, just east of Brady, NE. This is 25 miles (give or take) east of North Platte along the triple track main. Here, a single DPU brings up the end of a westbound coal empty headed for the Powder River Basin. Email Questions or Comments to the Webmaster or add a comment to the picture.

This is one of the few spots in Nebraska with a readily available S-curve! Note the second unit (UP 9082) is a patched Chicago North Western C40-8.
