Today the rain chased us East, we never got wet but the showers were close to us for most of the day, except in the afternoon when it became sunny and very humid. It got up to 30C by 4pm, so it was hot!!
We made a brief stop in Omaha to tour through the restored Omaha Union Station, they have restored the interior to what it looked like in 1948 or so, just a wonderful experience. It is also an excellent museum for the city of Omaha. UP RR has it's Headquarters in Omaha as well in a 30 story office tower downtown.
Heading East on I-80 to US59 turning North to pick up US30 East again, this segment of the UP line is double track but very few trains, we only saw two all day. It is nice not be be on the interstate highways, a slower pace, but you get to stop and see things, like the post office in Beaver, IW, only open from 7:30am to 11:30am, but is open on Saturday as well to 10:30am, very small.
