Nice video. All I can say is come this summer I'll have to make a trip out there! Don't blame you for not getting out of your car!! Been there and done that! Lol.
its ture.. I used to live near buttermilk curve. real nice watching trains .. they are up to speed here but usually keep it below 70 mph nowadays as far as i kin tell . Buttermilk curve (we call it hill and dead man's curve) is just west of gothenburg ne.
So .. what with ALL trains .. approaching (ON a curve .. and .. given the approach speeds of most .. ? Do YOU think it's afe enough YET -- to attempt to cross over -- at that point (or wouldn't it be a lot safer .. giving that crossing the slip -- and just USE a bridge .. somewhere else) Huh ... ?
Bro, all I can say is WTF! I didn't know spots like this existed outside of Fostoria, Ohio. Even in Fostoria, you can't see every train that comes through because of 3 different mainlines. In this video, every train passed right in front of you without you having to leave to catch a train in a totally different mainline. Awesome!
@csx5400 Ive been to Fostoria back in 89 and it was busy back then but you could only catch 2 of 3 lines. A lot of moving around. Here, just sit and relax!!!
Holy hell! I should go there! The only track I have here by me is the saltlake to Denver line and I'm lucky to catch five to ten trains a day and that's a busy day lol. But shit eighteen trains in two hours?? Awesome video!
@dylanbobby1 I know Mr. Warren Buffet lives in NE as well. Which his company is now 100% owners of BNSF. NE also is host to UP's North Platte Bailey Yard. Great catch on the railfanning. Hope to see some more :)
An absolute freeway of trains, and at good speed! You nusta felt like you were watching a Jimmy Connors tennis match, dude. The BNSF Transcon can't touch this for density and compression of activity. Thanks for briniging it here.
@Trainking922 I do believe it is. A few years ago from when this video was made, this line was averaging 160 trains a day. When I was out there, it was down to about 125-140 a day....still, a lot of trains
I thought Thanksgiving Day was going to be tolerable but I was wrong. It was a damp cold of about 5 degrees with a wind. I'm thinking about a May arrival out there. Weather should be decent by then
The nearest rival to this track might be the Barstow-Dagget Calif segment. It was also recently triple-tracked. It contains the huge BNSF mainline and the UP line from LA to Salt Lake.
I take it they were all hauling burger buns ; )

I would guess trying to cross those tracks you have to be fast since they come along very timely. and on the clock with the trains that run by.

@NWRailfan01 We sure do. We have the headquarter of the RR, and we have the mainline and the world's largest freight yard.

This tripple track in Nebraska carries the most tonage in the country. I don't know about actual number of trains though.

When the videos were made, it was around 160+ a day. It was before the down turn in the economy and UP losing a lot of coal contracts to the BNSF
