At Cody Park, North Platte, Nebraska

After we went to the Golden Spike Tower, we headed over to Cody Park to view the train display there!  They had one of the Challengers, a huge double diesel and a nice little depot along with a few cars.  If you are ever in North Platte and want to check these out, they are located toward the back of the park on the southeast corner.

Union Pacifics Boy Scouts Of America 100 yr Anniversary Locomotive

We were fortunate enough to get to see this locomotive.  It's a one of a kind paint scheme by the Union Pacific railroad to commemorate the 100th anniversary of the Boy Scouts of America!  The locomotive road number is the same as this year '2010'. 

We found this locomotive parked on a siding between the Golden Spike Tower and Cody Park in North Platte, Nebraska!  Just had to stop and get some pictures of it. 

We only learned about this locomotive tow days before at a seminar put on by the Lionel Train Company, as they are going to produce a model of this particular locomotive in the near future!

Union Pacific's Bailey Yard

On our way back from Denver, we routed our trip to North Platte, Nebraska to go to the Golden Spike Tower at Union Pacific's Bailey Yard.  We watched as they assembled trains and sorted cars from the hump yard.

Good Place to Eat in Denver

If you are ever in Denver around the south side in the Denver Tech Center area, I suggest you eat at the Delitech restaurant. It's located at 8101 E. Belleview Ave., Denver! We had great breakfast's there!

When you are there, ask for Emily to wait on you. She was certainly a highlight to out trip back there, causing us to make a couple of return visits to the restaurant. We gave her a hard time and she took it all in stride! Here is a picture of her with my friend Lee!
