Union Pacific 844 passing the 11th Street crossing in Omaha, Nebraska, during March of 1983, as it worked up the “Side Hill” which in those days ran from the Omaha Shops up to 20th Street. 20th St. Tower would negotiate transition of these movements across the many tracks to a point from which they could then commence backing down into Union Station or across the Missouri River Bridge into Council Bluffs, Iowa. There were six grade crossings on Side Hill, thus many available whistles for those interested in capturing the sound of whistles in “the canyon” formed by the large industrial buildings of those days. Recorded by John Bush.
