About 4 p.m. on Sunday, April 10, 2011, about 5 cars derailed inside Union Pacific's North Little Rock yards. The train had come off the Van Buren Sun (from west Arkansas) and the cars derailed in the middle of the train on the '200 track.' The end of the train was still around the Van Buren Wye, so the Van Buren Sub was blocked until the site was repaired. It was not repaired as of 10:35 p.m. I took these photos from the Locust Street highway overpass using my 30X camera after 7 p.m.


The first train to the right was the one that had the derailment. You can see the cars in the middle of the picture.
