I hate driving in heavy storms like that, It reminds me of driving near Tucson on I-10 in thunderstorms. The truckers didn't care who they cut off. It was kill or be killed....
Beautiful scenery, I do remember that bridge but I didn't stop either when I drove through there. It's nice that you had time to see the sites and stretch the legs, because that is one long ass drive!
That chair in the train for the engineer didn't look all that comfortable. Imagine sitting on that thing cross country....
Thanks for sharing the pictures, I don't think I ever stopped in North Platte.
It's a pretty cool little town. Wednesday I will talk about the brewery we visited when we stopped there. Yeah, trains aren't always the most comfortable to begin with!
