Union Pacific Cheyenne to North Platte In The Mid 1970s

Tip jar: ko-fi.com/rail...
After I posted the first video (since deleted) I discovered I had an additional eight minutes of North Platte footage. Between that and some objectionable background music, consider this video a do over.
Anyway, Union Pacific's Overland Route between Cheyenne, Wyoming and North Platte, Nebraska. The wintertime scenes were taken in 1977. The other stuff was a year or two earlier. I'm guessing the Amtrak train passing by the depot in Cheyenne was a detouring San Francisco Zephyr because it normally ran via Denver and Speer Jct., thus bypassing downtown Cheyenne.

The projector sound returns! Cue the theme from "Psycho"! I know you don't like it. You don't need to tell me. You're not missing anything, nor are my feelings hurt if you mute your speakers or choose another audio source while you enjoy this video. (Yes the above comment is mostly sarcasm. Zero offense intended.)

Nice work Railroad media archive on posting That railroad film of Union Pacific Railroad trains Between North Platte, Nebraska, and Cheyenne, Wyoming

That is one beautiful Amtrak locomotive! ❤ 1:53

0:30 UP 6944! This one is on display at a museum in St. Louis. I went there as a kid and saw it back in 2001, and then in 2015 I saw it being towed back on the ex-Wabash after its repaint at the Juniata shops. So cool to see video of it, especially moving under its own power.

[@jimikrentkowski4073]

The last train was really cool. I think that was #57 on the Rock. great video!!

[@AlikStansberry]

Some solid 1970s action! I especially liked the very rare U50C footage.

[@parrott350]

I like the projector sound, especially if there is no sound of the locomotives, these are great ! Check out those code lines. best regards chuck

I went to North Platte with a friend in 1980 and when we got to Council Bluffs the U.P. had the U 50 C's stored waiting for final disposition.

Love the projector sounds!! You gotta hand it to Uncle Pete! He got the job done with whatever it took!

Awesome Footage

[@WaffleDragon]

Was there any reason the UP trains often had a tiny GP9 or something behind the big locomotives? Was it just for auxiliary power? 1:54 what was the reason for the Family Lines System logo on that station?

I never knew they had so many 'B' units and rather ugly DD types. Eye of the beholder of course
