Welcome to the final segment in Union Pacific's Overland Route: America's Original Superhighway, by the Thornapple River Rail Series.
In this miniseries, part of our Superhighway specials, we're touring the entire Union Pacific portion of the first Transcontinental Railroad, long known as the Overland Route, nearly a thousand miles of railroad spanning from the Missouri River at Omaha, Nebraska to the Great Salt Lake at Ogden, Utah.
An incredible railroad, the original Transcontinental Railroad is today a superhighway of commerce, featuring dozens of freight trains of all types through the American heartland. From the lush framlands of the Midwest to the deserts of Wyoming and Utah, the railroad is as incredible and unique as any other.
In this final segment, covering the Rawlins and Evanston Subdivisions, we begin near the continental divide, on the western fringes of Rawlins, Wyoming. Progressing across the high desert through the Great Divide Basin, the railroad passes through sparse terrain, before rolling into the oasis of Green River, a crew change point and the beginning of the Evanston Sub.
The Evanston Sub finishes the run across the Wyoming Desert before dropping down the famed Wahsatch Grade into the Great Salt Lake Basin. The grade, for which the Challengers, Big Boys and Gas Turbines were built, represents some of the best western scenery on the Union Pacific portion of the Overland Route: America's Original Superhighway.

About the Site 🌐
This site provides links to random videos hosted at YouTube, with the emphasis on random. 🎥
Origins of the Idea 🌱
The original idea for this site stemmed from the need to benchmark the popularity of a video against the general population of YouTube videos. 🧠
Challenges Faced 🤔
Obtaining a large sample of videos was crucial for accurate ranking, but YouTube lacks a direct method to gather random video IDs.
Even searching for random strings on YouTube doesn't yield truly random results, complicating the process further. 🔍
Creating Truly Random Links 🛠️
The YouTube API offers additional functions enabling the discovery of more random videos. Through inventive techniques and a touch of space-time manipulation, we've achieved a process yielding nearly 100% random links to YouTube videos.
