#5 & 6 Nebraska Woes
Author: rockislandbob

Due to a derailment of a freight west of McCook, Nebraska supposedly 5 & 6 are being held up with no decision yet whether to bus or not. Anyone out there have any more info on this? Rockislandbob

In Aug, 1978, a derailment in Nebraska sent the #5 I was on through a 15MPH branchline detour between Hastings and Holdrege and a 3 hour delay. Could that detour be done today ?

Anyone know where #5 is being held at? I went down to talk to agent here at Lincoln, but he had a sign in window saying he was away on company business. rockislandbob

Do a round trip to Helper if you are crazy. Havn't checked on tommorrows 6. Look like 5 and 6 which are both now due at 8pm
at DUT plus the ski train.

#6 finally into Lincoln, NE at 7:30PM. I was on my way downtown when the crossing gate came down & #6 shot by me. Passengers sitting in coach looked pretty weary. Long ways for them yet to Chicago. rockislandbob
