NS 8100, the Nickel Plate heritage locomotive, passed Union Station in Little Rock, Arkansas on Sunday, June 30, 2013 at 7 p.m., the leader of another oil train heading for St James, Louisiana. Although the sun was shining as I took these photos about 7 p.m., we had a brief rain shower a half hour before. This was the fifth NS heritage locomotive to visit us at Union Station, all on oil trains: 1) NS 8114-Original Norfolk Southern August 3, 2012 * 2) NS 1071 Central of New Jersey April 6, 2013 * 3) NS 8101 Central of Georgia May 27, 2013 * 4) NS 8025 Monongahelia May 31, 2013 * and 5) NS 8100 Nickel Plate Road today June 30, 2013. I put small images of each one at the end of this web page.


Having just crossed into Little Rock over the Baring Cross bridge, the train headed west, 6:58 p.m.


Note the crape myrtle tree above the engine.


The windows from Union Station reflect sunlight onto the tracks late in the day, and that's what you're seeing on the 8100.


Second locomotive in the consist was BNSF 9831, one of the BNSF Executive engines.


Third locomotive was NS 7600.









Here's all five of the NS heritage locomotives that have visited this area:
