A westbound manifest, led by UP 2021, is having engine troubles on main one and is thus running well under the maximum speed limit. In order to get faster intermodal traffic around the manifest, Dispatch is using main two. An intermodal (TOFC) led by UP SD70M 5116 is about to overtake the manifest. Note the headlight of yet another westbound on the horizon!

Kearney (UP) Union Pacific, Chicago North Western
One of the more popular spots along the triple track main is "Buttermilk Curve". 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.

A westbound intermodal (COFC) led by a Union Pacific C40-8 is rounding the first (long) curve that makes up the tail (depending on your point of view) of the "S" in the S-curve.

Not too far east of North Platte, US 30 crosses over from the north side of the triple track mainline to the south side. This presents an excellent vantage point for rail traffic. In this shot, a westbound unit auto train is approaching on main one, led by two SD9043MACs.

A Tunnel Motor in a sea of yellow! DRGW 5401 was sitting in what appeared to be a "dead line" in North Platte. Fortunately, however, the unit was reactived by Union Pacific and put back into revenue service after this photo was taken.
