Here's the preliminary schedules for UP's  Operation Lifesaver trips in Arkansas March 14-18, 2011. The trips are supposed to use UP heritage locomotives 1982 (MoPac) and 1996 (SP) set up with one locomotive at each end of the train so they don't have to turn engines. These schedules were given me by John C. Jones, who is the official photographer for the local Union Pacific area. Like anything associated with a busy freight railroad, these times and places could change. I will update this page as needed, so 'refresh' the page once in a while.

MONDAY, MARCH 14 - Round trip from Bald Knob to McRae to Bald Knob, leaving Bald Knob at 1 pm. SBKNL

TUESDAY, MARCH 15 - Leave North Little Rock 7 am going to Malvern then to Pine Bluff. I assume it'll come back from Malvern then head south on the White Bluff Sub at Little Rock Junction. The 7 am departure time is all that I have...no estimate on arrival at Malvern or Pine Bluff. SNLPB

WEDNESDAY, MARCH 16 - Pine Bluff to Camden on the Pine Bluff Sub. Leave PBF 7 a.m. SPBCM

THURSDAY, MARCH 17 - Round trip from Camden to Stamps back to Camden. Leave 730 a.m. SCMCM

FRIDAY, MARCH 18 - A 6-hour trip, starting at Camden south to Lewisville then to Texarkana on the Pine Bluff Sub then going north from Texarkana on the Little Rock Sub to North Little Rock then using the Van Buren Sub west to Morrilton. No specific times are known at the various towns. I understand that this is a dead-unoccupied move.

I'll update this web site if I find out anything else.
