Modern Trains Menu Page

This page will serve as the main menu page for the Modern Train Section of Steam Trains and Tractors.  Unfortunately many more modern trains run today than special Steam Excursions.  In the following pages will be shots of Modern day or sometimes somewhat classic diesel locomotives in action or waiting for action. 

Check out the busy Union Pacific Triple-Track Mainline between Gibbon Jct, Nebraska and North Platte, Nebraska.  This line sees 100-120 trains in a 24 hours period.  The best part is that almost the entire line is paralleled by State Highway 30.  So photographing trains on this busy stretch of track is almost too easy.  The weather was perfect and there were alot of trains.
