UP 2563
Title:  UP 2563
Description:  After finally leaving North Platte, it didnt take long for us to stop again. US 30 was dug up for a 15 mile stretch west of Hershey, NE, so we had to get off and head towards I80 there. Well, of course when we crossed the tracks, I noticed an eastbound inbound train. We headed over into Hershey. The town is essentially divided by the tracks and there is only one road that goes over them (the one we crossed), so, to compensate for that, a pedestrian bridge has been built over the tracks, which allows a great vantage point for railfans. Underneath the pedestrian bridge is UP 2563, a caboose now on static display here by the Hersey Lions Club

UP 5595
Title:  UP 5595
Description:  The original plan was to leave after the last train. And we did, but then I noticed another eastbound train coming, so we went right back. I was too late for the lead power, but I was able to shoot the DPU, which was sadly inward facing this time.

UP 6473
Title:  UP 6473
Description:  Couldnt get the camera to focus until the very last second for the DPU, and even then it didnt focus that well, but UP 6473 brings up the rear of the coal train. After this train we did finally continue west on I80, before getting around the detour and jumping back to US 30.

UP 7228
Title:  UP 7228
Description:  Back on US 30, we continued to follow the tracks, just like we did yesterday. And of course, we couldnt stop for everything, which meant getting shots like this. UP 7228 leads an eastbound grain train outside of Sutherland, NE. Before it was a tie train that we had just barely missed.

UP 8940
Title:  UP 8940
Description:  The next town of any size was Ogallala, NE. A lot of buildings are between the tracks and US 30 when you get into town, but thankfully I caught the glimpse of another parked intermodal. As soon as we parked and I got out to get my photos, the train continued its journey eastward.

UP 2699
Title:  UP 2699
Description:  I had a gut feeling that there was a train behind the last one when I got back into the car and we continued west. And I was right, another eastbound intermodal. This time being led by a Tier 4 GEVO.

UP 816
Title:  UP 816
Description:  The Overland Route takes a short dip into Colorado for about 20 miles west of Ogallala. So, in order to continue following the railroad, we went down into Colorado as well. The first town on the railroad once you enter Colorado is Julesburg, CO, a small and quaint town. The railroad had really quieted up after we got out of Ogallala, but we stopped at the Sinclar station to fill up with gas, and some yellow caught my eye. The engine being used for the local was tied down at the grain elevator, so I went to take some shots.

UP 1601
Title:  UP 1601
Description:  At Julesburg, the Overland Route splits into two different sections, the main section which continues west to Cheyenne, and the secondary section that continues further south to Sterling, CO and beyond. After we got gas we continued our way west, and it didnt take super long for us to see a headlight. This time it was a westbound local. I wish I would have gotten a video of this train because the very nice crew dished out a lot of extra horn.
