From Nebraska to Boone, Iowa, over the Kate Shelley Bridge
Echoing Allen’s comment. Just thrilling to watch. Thanks, Trains!
Wow great video please keep on sending these.
Hey John. How ya doing? Just one UP retiree to another.
amazing
So did the UP name their new bridge the “Kate Shelley” bridge also?
Nice video on the first Iowa leg. I was afraid the crowds would thin as the special ran east into former “foreign” territory. Looks like it’s getting plenty of attention.

Obviously the conversion to an oil-burner was a success.
Thanks,Trainsmag for this great coverage!!!!
Awesome video! Does anyone know what the car just ahead of the last dome car is?
Thank you for the video over the Kate Shelley bridge. I went up to Boone yesterday to see the steamer and thought about going to that hill to observe it, but I knew it would be crowded, and by the looks of it, I was right. I had all kinds of time, though, as it was an hour and a half late to its resting spot listed on the website. At least I got some great video of it pulling up!
