    Just South Of Council Bluffs IA

    The BNSF Council Bluffs Sub isn't the busiest line around the area, so when I noticed a NB train from my SB travel in I-29, I took the next available exit and went after a suitable place to grab a shot or two.

    A Few Quick Shots

    On the way to the Farmer's Co-op for kerosene, I noted a high green signal for a eb on the BNSF Omaha Sub at Gretna NE.

    A "Could've Been"

    Right off the bat, this is not my work and I don't know who to give credit to, but they did one fine job!. While looking for some Christmas letter stationary, I came across a notebook with a bunch of RR related stuff from around 1999. The attached photo was one of the things in there.

    Had a chance to get trackside yesterday afternoon in Tolono IL (technically east of Chicago, but not that far so I ask your indulgence in allowing me to post here in my usual place:) ).
