Union Pacific's Overland Route: the Kearney Subdivision

Welcome to the second segment in Union Pacific's Overland Route: America's Original Superhighway, by the Thornapple River Rail Series.
In this miniseries, part of our Superhighway specials, we're touring the entire Union Pacific portion of the first Transcontinental Railroad, long known as the Overland Route, nearly a thousand miles of railroad spanning from the Missouri River at Omaha, Nebraska to the Great Salt Lake at Ogden, Utah.
An incredible railroad, the original Transcontinental Railroad is today a superhighway of commerce, featuring dozens of freight trains of all types through the American heartland. From the lush framlands of the Midwest to the deserts of Wyoming and Utah, the railroad is as incredible and unique as any other.
In this second segment, covering the Kearney Subdivison, we'll begin at Grand Island and work to Brady, just outside the famed North Platte Terminal.
If you missed the first part, be sure to check it out, plus continue onto the following segments, which cover the remainder of the line in a similar fashion.
