Union Pacific Along the Triple Track

Union Pacific's Kearney Sub runs across the flat prairie of eastern Nebraska from Grand Island to North Platte with the most notable section of the line being the segment between Gibbon Junction and North Platte, more commonly known as the 'Triple Track Main'.
Over the course of two cross country trips in the summer of 2019, I followed the triple track main from Gibbon to North Platte, documenting some of the many coal, intermodal, manifest and other unit trains that ply this line, which at one time was the host of upwards of 120 trains a day.
Power is pretty evenly split between GE and EMDs. Occasional foreign units foreign units make appearances, particularly BNSF units on the Jeffery Energy coal trains. This is true main line railroading at its finest!

I love the pride of Union Pacific. They haven't forgotten their over a century and a half heritage.

I like the OLD Union Pacific Railroad TEN times better than today's massive system! I miss the massive steam and gas turbine locomotives, plus the vintage diesels.

The Buttermilk Curve sequence captures the essence of the operation.

I had remembered passing it during my first trip out this way in 2009, but I never shot anything around it. It's easily my favorite spot!

Awesome video!

I absolutely enjoyed the Union Pacific triple track video. I haven’t been through this way since 2004. Some of the route 30 highway took you trackside in the state of Nebraska.

what the hell is a MTBA unit doing in Nebraska? In freight duty? What what what?

[@tonyordaz3326]

Can you film the Union Pacific Sidney Sub, Laramie Sub, Rawlins Sub, and Evanston Sub, Salt Lake Sub, Provo Sub cause I might do this in 7 1/2 inch gauge.

[@bnsf7562]

I've done a portion of the Sydney Sub. I would like to do the Evanston Sub through Echo Canyon, but that might be a few years down the road.

What happened to the train symbols to go with every train?

[@bnsf7562]

Unfortunately, I'm not well aware of the train symbols used by Union Pacific. I know it's mostly a letter system, but combined with the little radio communications and the number of trains, it's difficult to be accurate.

For Heaven sake clean up your Corporate image. In other words washer locomotives!

My experience with running UP power was that not only did they need a washing on the outside, but on the inside as well and often some body work to patch up rust through (SD40s, SD60s, AC4400s).
