UP 5933 Leads Grain Train w/ BNSF & KCSM West | N Airport Rd. Railroad Crossing, North Platte, NE 

Monday, July 8, 2024
Following our visit to the Golden Spike Tower, we grabbed some ice and headed to a crossing, only to miss an intermodal and a coal train. While exploring the crossing, I noticed a nearby train that stopped for a crew change before quickly departing. UP 5933 leads a five-engine lashup, which included two BNSF locomotives and one KCSM locomotive, as it accelerated west at the North Airport Road railroad crossing in North Platte on the Kearney Sub.

UP 5933 - GE C44ACM
UP 7073 - GE C44ACM
