The CNW could hustle their hot intermodal Falcon Service trains at 60 across the Kate Shelley Bridge near Boone. But the bridge was restricted to one train at a time. Fast forward to 2020 and the new Kate Shelley Bridge on Union Pacific. Now UP can hustle the "Bird" across the KSB at 70 - and two trains at once can cross it.
Those SD40s were EVERYWHERE for many decades....
That Kate Shelley bridge has been replaced by a new one right next to the old one...
That scene at 3:55 reminds me of the ending of “Runaway Train.” Almost expect to see Manny standing over a radiator fan trying to stay warm.
At 25:11 an old Omaha Civil Defense siren can be seen on top of one of the buildings.
