great video, allowing those of us outside the US to see this for ourselves. Thanks again, Colin

Thank for taking me along on your trip I enjoy it very much.

Thanks for stopping by my town I know Im a little late but I live like right next to the train yard.

Hi Jim - I live in Ontario Canada and down the street from the Canadian Pacific rail yard and another 2 km from the Canadian National railroad. On any given night I can hear the ES44AC's running through as well as cars being coupled the together; sometimes at 2:AM. I enjoy your modeling videos and recently picked up a SD70Ace (CN) engine; it's been awhile since I've worked with model trains. But now i'm getting back into it thanks to you.

thank you for taking the time to show us :)

Thanks for showing me what I missed. I was in Omaha visiting my son and had planned on taking the run over to Railfest, but had to leave a couple of days early. Sure wish I had stayed and made the trip over. I'll be making more trips to the area once my son PCSs back from Okinawa. I did get to chase 844 on its way through Omaha to Railfest. Thanks for sharing this adventure.

THANK you, James

Thank you for taking the time to show an East Coast, beach...trainless community what the reality behind a life-long railfan's dream. I took a look at Bailey Yard on Google Earth. But seeing your video made it all the more better. Those were Traction Motors you were looking at before you got the Calendar. Thanks again. All Aboard!

Great Tour and well done. Thanks for sharing

Man, I wish I was able to make one of those events, great video!

great video hoping to see this event in person one day

totaly awsome

good to see every engine in the UP family is there MOPAC gave #844 some bad wheels in Texas in March this year the cause was a bad pin in the MU Cable resulting in MPAC being sent to Davidson and #844 landing up in the shops in Hearn but it is good to see all those locos they tell UP's story.

UP Northwest line out of Chicago is a mere 250 feet from my front door. Also runs Metra commuter trains.

Nice would love to go see that someday

Cheers Mate, A story on Australian Locos would be Awsome. Have a holiday down Under your Welcome anytime.

awesome!

I like visiting the main Norfolk southern rail yard in Elkhart Indiana which is the 3rd largest rail yard in the US.

Cool vid.

I agree.

Good point. What we really need is a Tripod Channel.

Was there the same year as you!

The mopac and the sp heritage motors where in ft worth about a month ago

I love the North Platte Nebraska that going to be my favorite place to work for the Union Pacific that’s my dream job to be a train conductor and a engineer I the Heritage units and I like on the both C45ACCTE 2010 and the pink ribbon and i like the railroad yard

At 15:47 there is the east trim tower, can you get me a picture of the north side of that building?

Holy crap, it was.

Do they allow you to go on the engine?

Owww I spot a case 580!! 😍😍😍

Thumbs UP for the line UP

UP 844 was so quite in the video you didnt even hear the steam hissing

yes

You should take a trip to Horseshoe Curve and Altoona

is that the heritage unit guy that was flipping out about the heritage unit rio grande?

interisting that up chose for the sp unit the spsf colors , and some

Very good video

Are the heritage units usally parked at north platte

Great video sir, thank you.

Hi just wondering how much ticket cost to go to this north platte railfest?Cool video

They try to get some of them there every year. This was the first and only time that they had all Heritage units there.

Looked like the O-gauge (3-rail?) layout actually modeled a hump operation! That would be a first I think.

pretty realistic! What scale is that? Thats a foamers paradise. I would never get to work.

Sure is a size

was 3985 there?

wow.

'Speeding a bit'

Yup, he lives in the mid-west somewhere so I would imagine it's him. But It sure does look like him.

I have been there

i went in 2010 & 2011

R u selling part of your collection on ebay?

I live in Nebraska i think i missed it.

I type out "double you double you double you." etc. that passes the filters.

Are you selling some of your layout on ebay?

google north platte railfest. it's the first result. i cant post links here youtube doesn't allow it

Hi Love your videos which are always infectiously enthusiastic. It's strange but given the Americans love for their jaw dropping locomotives they seem averse to personally naming any of them, a common feature in Britain. Can't think why? Any ideas?

we get no power up here :(

so many GE locos .. because GE is boss

why you dont show us a video of your union pacifc boy scout

Thanks for the video.... but please get a tripod.

emence area of beauty power-oh ya diesel engines -steam hot stuff

wow an ex SP unit

I hear a Nathan P horn at 19:08...
