The Kearney Sub [Union Pacific's Triple Track Main]
Вставка
- Опубліковано 11 чер 2024
- 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.

I accidentally discovered the Kearney Sub driving across the country in 2009. It was a mind blowing experience to see a train every 10 minutes.
TRAINS IN NEBRASKA, IS VERY WONDERFUL !
Can’t get enough of these beautiful, inspiring videos! The beautiful, wonderful country views are just totally stunning! It’s hard to put into words how much you have made this world of railroading in layman’s terms! Love the UNION PACIFIC RAILROAD (UP)!
I like the under over bridges for Union Pacific and bnsf
Hi, thank you for filming, narrating and posting. I very much enjoyed the Railways, Trains, snippets of History and seeing the Townships, along the route.
Nice intro ❤
Excellent! Union Pacific Sidney and Kearney Subdivision are both wonderful
I am watching from Australia in Queensland. Always great photography and excellent commentary on your videos. Love watching and thank you.
Thank you very much!
Another excellent video! I did a railfan trip from Boone, Iowa to North Platte, NE for the first time in 1980. Lots of SD40-2s and TOFC trains on CNW and UP back then. Thank you!
The drone footage is super nice.
Great coverage Aaron! I was the conductor on the Nebraska Central walking across and hopping on the 8132 in one of the last scenes!
That's awesome! Glad you guys were there. It was pretty slow on the UP and I waited quite a while to get the final shot.
Absolutely the best in rail......kudos to Aaron Bentsen and crew:)
I remember driving west on U. S. 30 in Nebraska. Between Gibbon Jct. and North Platte, I counted 84 trains in two hours.
great video sir ❤❤😍😍
Thank You
Great ending , thank you!
In Grand Island before the flyover, there were railroad crossings at Capital Ave, 18th Street, 10th Street, 7th Street, 5th Street, 4th Street (with Cantilever style crossing on 4th Street), the UP Diamond, and 3rd Street.
Great Video, thanks
Great video’s!! 🚀🚀
That “rare” westbound manifest on the BNSF flyover was a H KCKLAU (Kansas City (Argentine)/Laurel, MT, works Lincoln. Eastbound manifests are H PASKCK (Pasco, WA-KC) and work Spokane, Laurel and Lincoln. These tracks also see unit grain trains to /from PNW ports and Midwest grain terminals in Iowa and Illinois - all in addition to the numerous coal trains.
Thanks for the info!
Sorry I did not mean for this to be a reply

Keep up the awesome videos keep going east
:Powder River Basin has shipped more coal than in the past two decades a record!
I used to live near Kearny avenue in Springfield, Missouri. I was so close to the train tracks that when the trains rolled past my house I would have to keep my Knick knacks from falling. I couldn’t move anywhere in that town without losing sleep from all the rail traffic
Fantastic video!
Excellent long video with many interesting trains. 👍
Hey that lightning almost startled me on 0:00:06
Awesome and amazing seeing this going through Nebraska.
🇺🇲🚂🚃🚃🚃🚃🚃🚃🇺🇲
Good stuff!
Just discovered your videos tonight and love the insights, commentary, detail, and fantastic footage. I have mapped all of Nebraska RR in Google Earth and was able to insert your link to my placemarks making it far better. Carry on this good work!
Thank you very much!
Also, excellent work capturing all of the great sounds, be they nature or myriad mechanical sounds from the trains, not over-narrating and letting it roll - well done.
I’m loving this UP video!
Oh heck yeah the Kearny
Train horns help me sleep at night
Have you heard the news from the Union Pacific yet for this year with 4014 and get this it will be going through the Feather River Canyon on its way to Roseville and then go over Donner Pass to head to Ogden.
So I think I know what happened with that wind situation. Often when a storm dissipates it can "collapse" which can create a really strong outflow boundary and create really strong winds as a storm looks to be dying. That's a really wild situation you got caught up in!
All of your videos are very impressive! Great videography, commentary is so good, history lessons are superb and a crazy amount of Uncle Pete's railroad. A question from the Sidney sub videos: Point of Rocks- is it located on Federal,, State, County, Native or private land? The geology is very interesting. If I ever make it to Nebraska I would like to spend time there knocking on the rocks with my geologist hammer just to see what is inside the rocks. I am thinking fossils and much more. Sorry about the smoke from here in Canada. Hopefully this summer will be quiet on the wildfire situation.
Thanks for your kind words. Point of Rocks is on private land. The owners reside in nearby Potter. In small towns like that everybody knows everybody so inquiries could be made.
@@7ideaproductions tks for the reply. Keep those great videos coming. Do you have anything from Hinkle OR to Nampa ID?
Старые поезда,но всё таки приятно посмотреть на поезда которые ездят в других странах
Man, I didn't realize how many double coal trains they run out there
Anything to lay off crews.
TOP.
Waow Amazing mister
I like train videos on UA-cam 👍
You should make a video documentary of the BNSF Ottomwa subdivision because it's one of the BNSF's busiest subdivisions
Fascinating video. I'm from the UK so I can tell you that "Greenwich" is actually pronounced "gren-ich"
Thank you for the correction.
I was wondering if you are out filming have any of you seen any of the locomotives from the movie Unstoppable
Why do you see a lot of old GM SD40-2 and GP locomotives and we don't see GE C30-7?
New camera technology cannot keep up with 100 year old train technology of 90 mph.
Just curious have u recorded any in Kansas yet
Wow
Where are these trains going the fastest along this route?
Sweet Video! Who does the narration?
Will you uploading the full video of The Return of the Big Boy U.P. 4014 & 844 The Great Race To Ogden
Are you gonna do the Columbus, Omaha, and Blair Subdivisions
The question didn't get added
Question mark
I would also love to see an Omaha sub video.
Did u do the track from grand island to Blair
Do Union Pacific's Marysville Subdivision , 4/19/2024
I agree. Not only that. Do some other videos in KS. BNSF's Superior and Emporia subs have some interesting towns and curves to take in. The short lines would sadly bore you as they aren't very fast unless you get closer to Wichita.
I thought BNSF was bigger than Union Pacific in size? Am I wrong?
UP IS #1 BNSF#2 &CSX#3 by track miles
@@BrucePerkins-mc3hp Thanks for the info! 👍
So how does a fuel is trains
Very carefully.
Today we go to one of my favorite cameras on the Virtual Railfan website Kearney Sub. Three tracks three subdivisions all of them begin at Bailey Yard. East of Gibbons the rails split into the Fremont Sub, the Grand Island Sub, and the Marysville Sub. The Grand Island Sub enters Council Bluff from the south where it ties into the Falls City Sub which connects to Marysville Sub at Marysville. The Fremont Sub is the original UP mainline it goes through Columbus, Blair, Fremont, and Valley Junction before terminating at Council Bluff Yard in Omaha. The line continues east on CNW main becoming the Boone Sub and the Clinton and Geneva Sub before terminating at Proviso Yard in Chicago.
What's funny is the railroad thinks they are saving money by building those "super" trains. But what corporate didn't consider is that the west bound main is the only single track long enough to hold a train that long.
hay is not safe for livestock if soaking wet in horses may cause collic
Fantastic, thanks for the effort!
All that coal traffic will soon be a thing of the past
When UP ran the Big Boy, could someone picked out a nicer bunch of hopper for braking assist duty ????
Could have used nice clean new cars, but no, some old rusty buckets, really?
Makes the other cars look better in comparison
Happening your a mess lmao
