Actually I was thinking of the tangent just south of Offutt Air Force
Base though, in looking at it today, it does have a more northeast-southwest
alignment that I recalled after following the line from Plattsmouth to Omaha
using Mapquest's satellite view. Nevertheless, it is more east-west than
north-south and, in any case, has trains going back toward whence they came.

Since your question was between Chicago and Denver, I assumed that Denver to
Colorado Springs was off the table. I also did not consider Pacific Jct to
Council Bluffs. Between Oreapolis and Bellevue, Nebraska, there are two
locations north and south of Pappio where #1 would be running NE and #10 SW,
but the track is not oriented due east and west opposite the timetable
direction. Directly south of Chicago Union Station, westbounds are running
slightly east of due south. There are several other locations where short
sections of the Chicago-Denver line is oriented almost directly north-south
(Mendota, Burlington, portions of Plattsmouth to Gibson, Lincoln depot, and
near Mascot.

Where along it's Denver-Chicago runs did #10 travel almost due West and #1 due
East?
