I’ve traveled the short section west of Omaha, NE, which is on the original brick roadbed. It was neat in a nostalgic sort of way but certainly not worth the effort of riding all the way through Nebraska just to experience it.
I’ve also traveled along US 30 in Cheyenne, WY, which was part of the original routing. In fact, that stretch is called Lincolnway but is now mostly a business route through town. There are some neat old motels and cafes along that stretch and since it’s only about 1.5 hours from my home, I do enjoy going up there to enjoy the vibe. If you’re into the history and story behind the transcontinental railroad, Union Station in Cheyenne is a must-see.
