Don Wetmore takes us along on a day of rail fanning in Nebraska and Iowa. We start in Omaha, where we catch Amtrak's California Zephyr stopping at the old Burlington Station and several freight trains with the Burlington Northern and Union Pacific Railroads. We also watch KLine containers being unloaded from a doublestack train at the Union Pacific piggyback yard.

Then we head over to the Missouri Valley, Iowa, railroad yard. We make our way east along the Chicago and North Western tracks up the Boyer River Valley to the Iowa Divide, photographing numerous C&NW trains along the way. We also watch a maintenance crew on the nearby tracks for the Chicago Central and Pacific Railroad.

Filmed in April, 1993.

Produced by John Z Wetmore, producer of "Perils For Pedestrians".
