Ted, The line north of Pacific Junction is no longer a through route. The tracks are severed in Council Bluffs just south of I-80. The line was cut after 2002 as I found a BNSF ETT showing this line still intact at that time. The ex-MILW line that the BNSF operates as the Bayard Sub connects to the line at the wye to the power plant south of Council Bluffs, so there technically is a way into CB. Any train going north out of P Jct would have to reverse at the CBEC (power plant) wye to access the Bayard Sub and get into CB. WB Amtrak trains operate through P Jct on the E-W main and turn north at Oreapolis and access Omaha from the south. This is now the BNSF Omaha Subdivision and loops around through Omaha past the depot and then out to Ashland where it rejoins the main. EB trains do the reverse. I believe the CZ used this route as it did not carry mail and therefore did not need to go through the mail transfer. This saved costs crossing the UP's Omaha-CB bridge. The NZ still ran this way due to the head end traffic it carried. Bryan J. Howell Superior, WI

Hello, seeing has how Burlington ran on both sides of the Missouri River from council bluffs to Kansas City, I do not understand point number two in Jim's email. I assume he met to say the through trains transferred from the Iowa side to the Nebraska side of the river, with a removal of a diamond at Pacific junction. Amtrak still accesses Omaha and the Burlington Depot area. I assume at Pacific junction the train uses the connecting track to go North to council bluffs, cross the river to the depot, and then connect to the main line at Ashland. If this is not the case how does Amtrak access the Omaha Depot. Ted On Tue, Jul 11, 2023, 10:52 AM james miller <jimbro67@gmail.com> wrote:
