When you catch a clean unit and action otherwise seems slow, go with what cha know. UP 5131 passes the block signal east of Arlington, NE on the home stretch to Fremont. |

Damn Trees |
| Description: |
Of course in steam days cinders would have cleared the treeline. Nowadays foliage encroaches upon open scenes along the right of way in many places. A westbound manifest crosses the Missouri River and the state line between Iowa and Nebraksa upon this gorgeous former C&NW span. I will still take spring over winter. |

Vernal fields |
| Description: |
Mid-afternoons have had some lengthy lulls lately. I waited at the Route 30 overpass for awhile, then rode east into Iowa looking for a train. This fellow had left Missouri Valley and I caught it crossing the Missouri, then scooted back out to the overpass west of Kennard to catch it at this nice vantage point. Things are looking more green. About time! |
