<p>North Platte is very good. I have been on US 30 from Ogallala to Grand Island and it follows the tracks the whole way. O'fallons is also good. That is where the coal line from Wyoming joins the main heading east. It is wide open and there is a grade crossing there that allows you to move for photos. In North Platte the loco facility is easy to find it is right on W Front St. I had a good pair of binoculars and could ID any loco the I could see. The ready tracks are behind the byilding though. I found the best spot to see trains was the grade crossing a N Front Rd on the west end of the yard. The hump locos will back out to the road to tie onto a cut, there is a track for replacing wheels and since it is the yard throat the trains pass by slowly which means easy pics. It is clear viewing in either direction. I saw over 100 trains in one day at that crossing. I post my pics from that area on rrpicturearchives.net in three photo albums</p><p><a href="http://neil300.rrpicturearchives.net/archiveThumbs.aspx?id=11998">http://neil300.rrpicturearchives.net/archiveThumbs.aspx?id=11998</a></p><p><a href="http://neil300.rrpicturearchives.net/archiveThumbs.aspx?id=12028">http://neil300.rrpicturearchives.net/archiveThumbs.aspx?id=12028</a></p><p><a href="http://neil300.rrpicturearchives.net/archiveThumbs.aspx?id=12057">http://neil300.rrpicturearchives.net/archiveThumbs.aspx?id=12057</a></p>
