UP's heritage locomotives 1982 and 1996 pulled three UP passenger cars southbound through Bald Knob, Arkansas on their way to North Little Rock on Sunday, May 9, 2010. This train will be used the following week in central Arkansas for Operation Lifesaver trains. The 3 passenger cars were "Challenger" dome, "Texas Eagle" and "Feather River." Note the signal bridge north of the Bald Knob renovated depot, now housing a railroad museum and excellent hobby shop called "Arkansas Traveler Hobbies." (Photos by Ken Ziegenbein)


The train (SCBNL-8) approaches from the north at 5:25 p.m. May 9. I'm standing on the entry steps of displayed Missouri Pacific caboose 13675.




A really sharp-looking train. You can watch the sound movie below. He had to sound the horn at crossings north of here.
