I had the oppurtunity to watch the actual interchange one summer  evening in 1977.  The Tower was still standing and a UP GP35 was parked on the connecting track, waiting to serve as the pilot engine to ferry the train to North Platte.  When the BN train rolled to a stop, in a well correographed sequence, the UP crew made the joint, the mechanical department guys tied the units together and made the air test.  In a matter of minutes it was done and the train rolled west in a cloud of dust and exhaust.  Quite impressive.  Jim Sandrin
