Union
Pacific picked up this caboose (Missouri Pacific 13894) from
a siding in Nashville, Arkansas on August 25, 2009, to be used in
work train service in the Little Rock and central Arkansas areas. I
don't know if it will be repainted or not. They had to use a
pickup truck to pull the caboose from its' storage siding because
the track would no longer support a locomotive. John C. Jones,
who is a local photographer who takes pictures on UP property for the
local UP work area, gave me this information. Most of these photos are
mine, but I've used a couple of John's at the end. It was nice to see a
caboose on the end of a revenue train. This MoPac caboose was built in
September 1980.

The train's head in on the Van Buren Sub, waiting to back into the yards at 11:32 a.m.
The train was stopped and the crossing signals deactivated, so that red car is perfectly legal.
On the high grade along Percy Machin Road in North Little Rock on the Van Buren Sub. UP 2426 is the lead locomotive.
