![The Kearney Sub [Union Pacifics Triple Track Main]](https://i.ytimg.com/vi/yj9AtnprTh0/mqdefault.jpg "The Kearney Sub [Union Pacifics Triple Track Main]
In the heart of America there is a super-highway paved with steel running between North Platte and Gibbon Junction, Nebraska.
It is known as the Kearney Subdivision and historically it has seen well over 100 trains per day. Traffic may be down from the line’s heyday in the early and mid-2000’s, yet this is still a fantastic place to watch trains.
This program begins with a nighttime visit to the Golden Spike Tower as a summertime thunderstorm lights up Bailey Yard. We then turn east through Maxwell, the Buttermilk Curves, Gothenburg, Lexington, Kearney, Gibbon Junction, and many other noted locations before wrapping up at the BNSF flyover at Grand Island.
Dominating the scene are monster double-coal trains that measure up to three miles in length, running to and from Wyoming’s Powder River Basin. In addition to coal are mixed manifests, hot-shot intermodals, and locals that service industry found along the route.
Along with cameras on the ground, aerial coverage of the Buttermilk Curves and Gibbon Junction gives a whole new perspective to this amazing line.

![Cajon Pass [BNSFs Cajon Subdivision]](https://i.ytimg.com/vi/z4HR53Yjcmk/mqdefault.jpg "Cajon Pass [BNSFs Cajon Subdivision]
Originally released in 2011, this is a look at Cajon Pass not long after the third main line was completed by BNSF. This is big-time railroading pre PTC (Positive Train Control) and PSR (Precision Scheduled Railroading).
We will begin in San Bernardino first thing in the morning and head east over the summit and through the Mojave Desert to Barstow.
A great variety of trains are featured including mixed manifests, auto racks, coal and piggyback trains. We will visit famous locations such as Sullivan’s Curve, the Mormon Rocks, the daylighted tunnels at Alray and much more.
There is plenty of action on BNSF’s new triple track main plus UP trains on the former SP Palmdale Cutoff, making a total of four main lines over Cajon! The high density of trains, noteworthy scenery and numerous photo locations has made this THE destination for railfans from all over the world.
