Amtrak California Zephyr going through Bartley, Nebraska on August 22, 2024

Note: For those that going to see the Big Boy through Nebraska I would advise you to check the Nebraska 511 Map for any construction going on, on Highway 30 so that way you don’t get stuck in the road construction zones.

Cardboard Train Update: I was able to get the bugs worked out on the trucks of my passenger cars plus the tender trucks (not the centipede part of the tender) and of course I have a few bugs on the tracks I have to do but there are a couple of corners where I have been able to get things to work and plus the straight track too but other than that I’m currently working on the bugs still in places where I’m having issues.

The Amtrak Train was delayed somewhere between Reno and Winnemucca, Nevada due an event that happened there. Amtrak Number 6 departed McCook, Nebraska 9 hours and 29 minutes late today.

Note: I do deeply apologize for the part when the train was going by and when I turning the tripod to face east I apparently had my iPad tripod way to close to the edge of my pickup because I was doing this from pickup-view this time so will have to see what next time comes.

Temperature at Bartley:
High today: 86 degrees F
