Does anyone have information on when the construction on the tower is to begin? I saw the press releases and drawings and I thought the project was to start by now.

I went through there on my way to the UPHS convention in Grand Island two weeks ago. It's still in the same shape it's been in for afew years, the old platform and acouple of passenger cars painted up in UP Yellow and Gray. Nothing else.

But, if any of you get to North Platte I do recomend you going to Cody Park to see the railroad display there. They've repainted challenger #3977 into the two tone gray paint, and did one heck of a job too. It looks really nice! I think almost any UP fan would enjoy seeing that.
