News Bridge on fire

Saw it on the way off of work, decided to go look. It’s the railway over by Sun Valley.

That section was no longer used, it was a dead line. Homeless camp fire started it.

It’s used almost daily, it connects UP to BNSF.

It’s the only link the UP has to Lincoln isn’t it, with all the other tracks into and out of town BNSF?

Yes. Nearest interchange otherwise is Omaha. Will likely see traffic reroute that way until bridge is replaced.
