The Wyoming route is the original Union Pacific's main line and a very fast piece of railroad. I believe that the speed limit for container train and other top freights is 70 mph. Back when it was carrying regularly scheduled passenger trains the passenger speed limit was 90 mph. It is entirely double track. Back in the early Amtrak days when the CZ ran this route it was about 2 hours faster between Ogden and Denver than the current route between Salt Lake City and Denver....Wyoming route...ostensibly a freight route #5/6 wouldn't be able to tae advantage of such given al the 59mph freights it would be slotted with...)
Sounds like someone else has an appointment with a CZI hope this on-timeliness continues! At least for the next, say, fourteen days
Yes indeed! Looks like there's good awnings on the new station so that's somethingSounds like you'll be getting on where I'll be getting off: LNK. Though I'm guessing you'll be getting on #5 while I'll be getting off #6... let's hope we don't get to do it in the rain :-(

Edit: wow, I use the word "indeed" too much...
This time of year it's to LNK or OMA on #6 to pickup the oldest daughter's car and drive it out here (this year she left it in the longterm parking at the Lincoln airport); and in August it's drive it back to there and ride #5 back this way... though generally "cheat" and get on at OMA, in that's an hour earlier and allows me get to sleep at a more reasonable hour. [she's a DVM stu at KSU but interns out here for the summer.]Yes indeed!
