ORIGINAL: Terminus Just got back from watching the film "Unstoppable", after scoring free tickets for me and a buddy. Not a bad film, but it helps that the tickets were free... I'm a train geek, so I know I'd enjoy this one. I didn't know that Mike! You'll have to come out and visit us then. This place is train city (literally). Union Pacific's HQ , with 3 or 4 train museums nearby. Oh, yeah, I am. I took a long weekend drive by myself from MN out to the Powder River Basin in Wyoming just to see all the huge coal mines and all the trains. I've also stopped on a trip back from CA to MN and spent the night intentionally at North Platte, just to check out the UP's Bailey Yard, which is the world's largest railroad classification yard. I've not seen the museums around Omaha yet, but will enjoy it when I do visit.
