NS 8025, the NS heritage locomotive  Monongahela was the second unit of two leading a northbound oil train past Little Rock's Union Station on Friday, May 31, 2013 at 5:56 in the morning. I braved the sometimes heavy rain and darkness to get these few shots. The sun was beginning to brighten the skies a little, but I had to sit in the car to get the shot to prevent my expensive camera from getting wet, and my windshield wipers weren't keeping the rain off the windshield fast enough to get a clear shot. But I did get some. The train was the OSNES-30 originating in St James, Louisiana. It left Pine Bluff, AR at 3:30 a.m. and got here at 5:56 a.m.

 This was the 4th NS heritage locomotive to come through Little Rock: 1) NS 8114, original NS paint, August 2012. 2) NS 1071 Central of New Jersey April 6, 2013. 3) NS 8101 Central of Georgia, May 27, 2013. 4) NS 8025 Monongahela, May 31, 2013. All have been on BNSF oil trains. Of course, I saw all 20 in July 2012 at Spencer, North Carolina at the great NS heritage event, but it's nice to see some come by by usual railfanning site here in Arkansas.



NS 1001 led the train and NS 8025 was the second unit, at 5:56 a.m.
