Step back to the late 1990s to experience Union Pacific’s Marysville Subdivision. Here you’ll find high density railroading at its finest. Union Pacific sends up to sixty trains a day across the Sub’s hilly terrain. This primarily single-tracked line spans the sparsely populated region between Kansas City and the junction with UP’s mainline at Gibbon, Nebraska. The rails cut across a rolling landscape rich in scenic beauty, where trains work hard to conquer the uneven profile of the land.
Starting at Gibbon Junction, the incredibly active meeting point of the Marysville Sub and the Nebraska Division mainline, we follow the route east along the Nebraska prairie. A new bypass around Hastings speeds trains up and over a busy Burlington Northern line. Soon after crossing into Kansas, the line becomes double-tracked and carries trains swiftly into Marysville, the crew change location and the stopping point for Volume 1 in our tour.
Union Pacific’s diesels put on a spectacular show, rushing train after train over the line. The railroad’s newest motive power can be seen pulling heavy coal trains and speedy intermodal freights. The single-tracked portions of the route provide ample opportunity to witness numerous train meets. For big time, modern railroading, get set for non stop action in Union Pacific’s Marysville Subdivision Volume 1.

In part 1 of the Marysville Subdivision, which was first released on VHS only in 1997, there are a parade of freight trains with motive power such as the 3000 & 4000 series SD40-2s, the 9100, 9200, & 9300 series Standard Cab C40-8s, the 9400 & 9500 series Dash 8-40CWs, the 6000 series AC4400CWs, SD60s, the 2000 series GP38-2s & C30-7s, a brand-new SD90AMC, & many other road names such as Chicago & Northwestern, Norfolk Southern, EMD SD70M Demonstration units, a General Motors Demonstration Unit SD50, an LMX B40-8, Burlington Northern, Blue & Yellow Santa Fe, & a rebuilt blue chopped nose GP7 number 1306.
Locations include the Hotspot of Gibbon Nebraska which more action of the junction can be found in Sunrise Sunset Part 1 (By the way the entire 2 part series was filmed after a day at Gibbon during July of 1996), Platte River Bridge, the bridge & railroad crossing on Interstate 80, Milepost 279.8, the Hayland grain elevators, Hastings, Glenville, Fairfield, Milepost 237, Milepost 235, Edgar, Davenport, Dry Sandy Creek Bridge, Milepost 199.5, Fairbury, Endicott junction, Steele City near milepost 175, the state line at Milepost 172.27, Hollenberg Kansas, Breman, & ends the first part at the depot, yard & junction at Marysville near milepost 148.
There’s one little goof: the Pentrex Narrator Dave Drui thought that the Union Pacific purchased the C&NW in 1994, when it should’ve meant mid to late April 1995.

Union Pacific has a way with great railroad action. Nothing different in this video. It is great as we see the trains working the hills east of Gibbon Junction towards Kansas City. Lots of action with modern power pulling heavy trains. Vol. # 1 covers the line from Gibbon Junction Nebraska to the town of Marysville Kansas. It’s a great video to see many times over.
