If you're feeling literary, try to read Willa Cather's "The Song of the Lark."?
It's set in the area you will be traversing and has a number of railroad
references in it, including a trip to Denver from out on the plains.? It
presents a great sense of life in the area in the 1890's.??Ms. Cather is an
important American writer and her book raises some interesting issues that
resonate today.

Thanks for the guidelines.
Obviously the first thing is to take Highway 34 from Fort Morgan to
Lincoln.
The next 2 questions are :
1. Where along Highway 34 are the best spots to stop and watch the
trains roll by?.
.
2. What time of day should I be at these points? ( The current
schedule put us on Highway 34 on a Thursday).
I have found the BNSF website and the link on their website (given
below) won't work for me. Do you know if it has restricted access?
(The full Timetable and Rule Book Web site can be found at:
http://bnsfweb.bnsf.com/departments/ttc/ttindex.html.)
Thirdly on a non-railway topic
Are their any recommended eateries along the way?
Thanks for the guidance.

Paul,
Are you interested mainly in remaining CB&Q structures and rolling
stock/locomotive displays, or famous sites along the mainline as well
(such as the triple track mainline at the Naperville curve)?

Dear All
My wife and I are hoping to get across the pond this summer
(last years
trip had to be postponed) and will be picking up a car in
Chicago.
What are the "must" visits CBQ sites along the route from
Chicago -
Denver.
I am basically modelling Buda. Is there a depot that I can see
that is
similar to that which was at Buda.
Thank you in anticipation.
