Of course in steam days cinders would have cleared the treeline. Nowadays foliage encroaches upon open scenes along the right of way in many places. A westbound manifest crosses the Missouri River and the state line between Iowa and Nebraksa upon this gorgeous former C&NW span. I will still take spring over winter. |

Mid-afternoons have had some lengthy lulls lately. I waited at the Route 30 overpass for awhile, then rode east into Iowa looking for a train. This fellow had left Missouri Valley and I caught it crossing the Missouri, then scooted back out to the overpass west of Kennard to catch it at this nice vantage point. Things are looking more green. About time! |

Last day of summer |
Description: |
Strong winds from vhe south have warmed the temperature to ninety in advance of a cold front that will bring rain the next day. UP 1995 is at the re-crew pad east of Fremont with a new crew getting ready to depart for points east. Heritage unit 1995 is on the point, of course, in a well-done acknowledgement of the former C&NWs heritage in the system. Although a few#warbonnets linger, how nice it might be for BNSF to adopt UPs effort to recognize elements of its system - with a North Coast Limited inspired scheme, etc. Alas, I understand even the UP heritage units wjll eventually be relegated to standard armour yellow; thus the striking C&NW colors look resplendent ahead of the classic wings. |
