A fenced in pedestrian bridge is also across from the motel and can be used for photos and video of passing trains.
Railroads past Hotel: Union Pacific Railroad. UP mainline, expect 50+ trains during a 24-hour period. This rail line consists of traffic between North Platte, Cheyenne and points west. A majority of traffic consists of intermodal, automobiles, merchandise and grain trains. This is not the busy coal train route. Most coal trains join this mainline a couple miles east of here.

Comments: This is an older style Motor Inn. Unpaved parking lot. I confirmed the location & view of the railroad, but I have not stayed here. This motel has not been rated by RailfanMotels.com

The blue circle marks the location of the pedestrian bridge. The bridge is useful for taking photographs and video of passing trains.
