- 06/30/2024 Gibbon, Ne. Jumped of I 80 to get out of the rain and lucked out with this Marysville Sub west bound. Caught a West and East bound manifest while in Gibbon. The West bound came up off of the Marysville Sub. Kearney, Ne. Lots of power on this West bound manifest. A East bound manifest and West bound empty coal made for a train meet on the edge of town! 07/01/2024 East of Cozad, Ne. CNW lead car on this East bound manifest headed down Track 3.
I had heard of Gibbon Junction for many decades. It was nice to actually see it, especially from above.
You brought us an absolutely spectacular video today, Red! Every train was long and fabulous. I've never seen so much extra power leading trains before. I sure appreciate you sharing with us. You always do an amazing job catching the trains! I thoroughly enjoy watching your posts and want to thank you again. I pray you have a safe and successful week in all you do! 😃😃😃😃😃❤❤❤❤❤
@garymiller5937 Thanks Gary!
@@redsiowatrainvideos6645 You're quite welcome! 🙂🙂
Hi Red, I love watching the big crossing at Kearney in Nebraska on the livestream. Intrermodel nearly touching the underside of that bridge, awesome train. Nice to see you doing some filming in location ive not seen before in Gibbon, Nebraska. Fab drone filming of brilliant trains on the triple track. They go that fast you lose track of how many locos are pulling the trains! Cool meet Kearney Loved this Red! Thank you. ❤😊👍
Long intermodal and mixed manifest with two mid-train DPUs to open with. Good trains and great catches, Red! Thank you. 😃😃😃❤❤❤
Love watching trains on UPs triple track through Gibbon and Kearney, NE. Imo the best locations for trainwatching anywhere. Even better
from the air. Awesome video Red!
@nancyhodges444 Thanks Nancy! I was hoping for a triple meet but two was fine👍
Ahhh yes. Concrete triple track in Nebraska. I remember being part of the MOW crews laying the triple concrete tracks years ago. I believe we started out by North Platte and worked our way east.
Nebraska has a Lot of Farms, a Lot of Livestock and the Slaughterhouse Capital of the Midwest. 🥩 Thanks for Recording your Trip through Nebraska. 👍🙏
@@kens.3729 You're welcome Ken! More to come👍
Not much Clearance above the Stack Containers under Vehicle Bridge. It like us driving our Pick-up Truck into a Parking Garage with a Low Ceiling. Thanks Red!👍
@kens.3729 You're welcome Ken! I thought the same thing with the clearance.
Hi Red, fantastic long UP freight trains and great drone footage. A very nice motorcycle you have there. Very nicely filmed, also the information about this railway line.❤❤❤❤👍👍
Thanks for showing and have a good time. best regards Wolfgang
@wolfgangpfeilergartenbahnd6530 You're welcome Wolfgang! I love chasing trains on the Harley👍
Hello Red . Love the bridge overhead and crossing 👍🏻.wow great Drone footage with the triple tracks 👍🏻😎Robin out
@@robinroberts3335 Hey Robin! Lots of train action in Nebraska👍
Nice double stack outside of Kearney Nebraska and two UP mixed freights in gibbon Nebraska and another UP mixed freight and Union Pacific mixed and CN loaded coal train meet there in Kearney Nebraska good UP mixed freight west of Lexington Nebraska and a Union Pacific caboose statue there in cozad Nebraska I love that red good job 👍😎
@Diegoiowatrains Thanks Diego! That's a railfans dream out there. Plenty of room to get around in Nebraska!
Two more excellent mixed manifests, one with eight locomotives and a mid-train DPU! Very nice long trains. Thank you, Red! 😃😃😃😃❤❤❤❤
Now that was a ROAD TRIP Red!! Thanks for going the extra mile or two hundred my friend!
@michaelbuss5731 You're welcome Michael! I went a lot further than that👍
Nebraska is definitely the home of loonngg trains. Great catch Red!
@dennisdingeman1564 Thanks Dennis! Definitely plenty of room out there👍
An awesome train meet between an eastbound mixed manifest and a westbound empty coal. Great catch, Red! 😃😃😃❤❤❤
I enjoy your train videos 😊but I also really like looking at your country. You folks sure do have a lot of beautiful countries . We don't have anything like that in Massachusetts
@gerardmeadsr5419 Thanks Gerard! This is the beautiful time of year. Corn country especially where I live in Iowa.
You caught some excellent railfanning footage on 30 June and 1 July 2024 on your motorcycle ride west into Nebraska, Red! it also looked like you had to dodge some rain on this trip. That westbound empty coal train that appeared at 19:36 had some unusual motive power on it. I do remember seeing an empty Union Pacific coal train powered by Canadian National engines before. (Posted 5 July 2024 at 1712 CDT.)
@thomasmackowiak I went even further than that Thomas! Great spot to railfan. Easy parrallel chases off of HWY 30. I was surprised to see CN on a coal train too.
@@redsiowatrainvideos6645 In late June 1968, I took a trip out west. I took I-80 into Nebraska and got off to follow US 30 along the Union Pacific. I remember seeing at sizable number of UP trains as I drove on US 30.
That was a great place to rail fan on that triple track main and it was pretty much like being there at your house, one train after another, and they roll through there, but anyway, my friend another great video and as always you stay safe out there and watch your back and we’ll see you on the next one
Red! I just love your Iowa Train videos!! Keep up the great work!
@markiewodi3371 Thanks Markie!
UP running those monster trains out there. People waiting at those grade crossings get mad waiting on those monsters. Great video Red. Stay safe out there.
@roballen5670 Thanks Rob! They seem to have enough overpasses out there to avoid trains. The pedestrian bridges over the triple track are crazy looking.
Traditional Elephant 🐘🐘🐘🐘 formation of Units on the train that exited the Marysville Sub and entered the Kearney Sub going West. 👍
When you head back to Iowa stop at Grand Island Nebraska and check out the Stuhr Museum. It's an old town with many, many, many old buildings and people dressed for those days giving demonstrations on life of our past. The tracks right next to the town were where our tie gang tied up while working in that area.
@daveschmitt4499 Have to check it out next time Dave. I saw mountains of old concrete ties on the way out. I'm guessing they Crack or crumble?
@redsiowatrainvideos6645 . Any tie run over by a train gets smashed or cracked into chunks. The best ties I have seen and used are the wood ties they use diamond tipped drill bits to drill holes to allow spikers to shove spikes into. You can't hand drive spikes into those ties even with the holes drilled. If I am not mistaken, the railroad said it was the hardest wood in the world.
In Texas they have the Billy Gibbons Junction....Identifier..."How, How, How, How..." Great video as usual Red!
@marksmith402 Thanks Mark! ZZ Top rocks👍
That was awesome, Red. Thanks for sharing 🙏 the shot with your bike in the foreground and the trains behind was super cool. 2 of the things i like most, Harley's and trains 😊 i ride a FLHTP. Are you spoiling us with a presentation of Bailey yard? You said you are on your way to North Platte. Ride safe, my friend.
@araneaetvelivolum1086 Thanks Aranea! I love chasing trains on that bagger. That's my first 6 speed bike. Makes a big difference on I 80. Bailey next😃
@@redsiowatrainvideos6645 YAY !!! 🇺🇸💯👍💥
Not only you have long trains but you also have large corn fields 😊
@@gerardmeadsr5419 Iowa has even more corn than Nebraska!
I've been west on 80. Would like to drive it on 30 someday. A couple of big power trains on the triple track. I stayed over night in north platte, cant wait for the next couple videos. Safe travels Red...
@davidsnider1703 You'd like HWY 30. It parrallels the triple track a lot. Plenty of history along 30 too. Lots of automotive stuff.
thanks Red another great spot
@ronaldrondeau7870 You're welcome Ronald!
Great video Red!
@karengunia5451 Thanks Karen!
Great catches there man!
@RandomRailfan828 Thanks R&R!
Eastbounds (especially intermodals) on the Kearney Sub may also go east at Fremont on the former CNW to Missouri Valley, bypassing Omaha/Council Bluffs
@PCBill0622 For sure Bill! Shorter route to Chicago on the old CNW.
It looks like there is only an inch of clearance between the top of those double stackers and the bottom of that over pass.
🚂😎👍🚂
Where is the Powder River Basin, Red? 🙂🙂
Well, 🤔🙄 🤣🤣🤣🤣❗, UPRR, CN, & CNW❗All without going all over Iowa to film them❗
@paulsmith5398 Lots of rail action in Nebraska!
Ya do much hopping in yur younger days, Red?
@jeffreyerickson3050 Nope. Looked like a great adventure though!
