Coal trains for the Jeffrey, KS power plant, accessed off UP's Marysville Sub at Aikins, ran with pooled UP and BN power, as they were interchanged to/from BN at Northport, NE. Here westbound "Juke" empties are rolling out the rustic two-track mainline before the addition of a third main a few years hence. The two main tracks were handling perhaps 110 or more daily trains and the railroad could turn into dogcatch alley mighty quick if something got delayed.
