(PREVIEW) Union Pacific's Cornhusker Mainline (The Triple Track)

[@TheDurnans]

Still a lot of engines with C&NW livery in this video. My father worked for C&NW for all of my childhood, until the UP bought them out when I was nearly on my own. I have a fondness in my heart for that old C&NW logo and colors.

[@LeeDfined]

1:25...engine sounds so relaxing. I grew up next to a CSX mainline. So train sounds relax me.

[@MNsportsnut]

the sky at 4:05 looks like a funnel cloud when the train rolls by

Hi there I just Stumbled on too this video What Amazing stuff you have going on I will have to visit there I'm sure theres been a lot of Changes sense then but still a great video that for share this wit us all!!

[@jmm2000]

It's now called the Kearney Subdivision from North Platte to Gibbon Jct. It still has three main lines (with concrete ties and 140lb rail) and they've installed 10,000 ft sidings between crossover locations. About 100 to 140 trains traverse this area and Bailey Yard has two classification yards (one for eastbound traffic and one for westbound traffic) and it's CTC-ATC.

[@nickygaming1911]

at 2:47, the engines made my day rock with the five engines on the intermodal train

[@LeeDfined]

Let me just say: this is my ALL TIME FAVORITE RAIL video. I watched it when it first came out and come back every so often. It just reminds me of old America. You can almost smell the air just by watching the video.

[@CVisionProductions1]

Thank you!!!! I'll be honest with you, I just wish I would have spent more time shooting this one when I did it back in 97. I feel it could have been better, and some of my angles weren't to my approval now. But I am so glad I did it then, and I am more happy that there are viewers like you who enjoy it. So thanks again!

[@petediaz8277]

One of the best train videos on the tube. Lots of movement and many trains. Great job! Loved the camera follows and the zooms as in 3:23.

0:53 It’s nice to see a C&NW SD40-2 leading. Damn, I really miss the good ole days of UP.

Did you see the tractor trailer wobble @ 1:54?

[@RailfanningRulez]

is there a train every 10 mins?

[@arnoldhilberink]

well looks like i found my vacation destination ^^ what length do those trains have?

[@LeeDfined]

3:37...love how that engine sounds. I used to know by sounds but am a little lit of practice. Someone please help me out.

[@CVisionProductions1]

That was a trio of SD40-2's, but it sounded like one of them didn't have the turbo charger operating correctly.

[@AbelG8781]

Sure are lots of Leslie's in this video.

[@ronhoffstein8142]

As an old curmudgeon all I see is a bunch of switch engines switching around a crap load of freight cars . If it ain't got a caboose on it, it ain't a freight train! Yeah, I'm kidding. But I really do miss the caboose.

[@TheDurnans]

Blame Fred...… ;-)

[@chesty1369]

You wanna see some trains, sit in Gibbon, NE. A train every 6 minutes.

[@CollinWeis]

GE Dash 9-60AC's??? Wtf, C60AC's, AC6000CW's.

Musta been awhile ago. Look at all those TOFC. Hardly ever see those anymore

[@CVisionProductions1]

Yes, it was shot in 1996. Thanks for watching!

[@Landaux]

Yea, I know how it gets in a non-aircondionted cab, and any crew member can agree with me. Espcially these BRUTAL, MUGGY Texas / Louisiana summers!! UGH!!!

[@petediaz8277]

You may need several gallons of glue!

[@Landaux]

3:40, why does he have all his doors open?

[@CVisionProductions1]

No air conditioning on those locomotives.

[@bensmall6548]

Now this line gets around 70-80 trains a day. While that’s still a very busy line, it’s only about half of what it used to be.

[@CVisionProductions1]

I've heard it is much less due to PSR and the lack of coal. I need to get back down that way to visit again. Thanks for watching!

[@beeble2003]

0:50 "Viewing many run-bys in the Sandhills region" I don't think so -- the Sandhills are farther north, aren't they? The BNSF line to Alliance, seen in the map at 0:22 goes through the Sandhills; the UP line runs in the space between the North and South Platte Rivers.

[@CVisionProductions1]

Sorry for the misinformation. What was explained to me when we produced this video 26 years ago that the are around North Platte and Brady was in the southern end of the sand hills.

[@CVisionProductions1]

I know this has been a while, but in research, our narration is correct. If you look at the map, you will see that the Sandhills Region does extend south into the UP mainline area. www.britannica.com/place/Sand-Hills
