Northbound (October 2010):
Location: US-26 and I-80, Ogallala
Immediately after crossing I-80 and picking up US-26, we’ll enter Ogallala
Location: US-26 and 1st St, Ogallala
As we prepare to cross over the railroad tracks into Ogallala, we’ll get our first 26/61 reassurance shield
Location: US-26 and 1st St, Ogallala
Just after that, we’re warned that we’re coming to US-30
Location: US-26 and 1st St, Ogallala
Follow N-61 north for trucks heading north out of Ogallala as opposed to going through town
Location: US-26 and 1st St, Ogallala
Turn left for 26/30 west and 61 north. Turn right for 30 east as we cross the tracks
Location: US-26 and 1st St, Ogallala
As we come down from the tracks and get our first glimpse of downtown Ogallala, we get a shield version of the same sign
Location: US-26 and 1st St, Ogallala
Trucks should follow N-61. I’m not sure if that sign is a remnant from when mainline 61 went through downtown (going straight from this intersecton) or not
