Finally got out to Union Station in Little Rock, Arkansas on Wednesday, March 5, 2014, although there still was lots of ice on the shoulders of roads. Temperature was around 30. Locomotives today: UP 9815, 2003(former SSW), 1974, 7204, 7845, 6247, 6056, 1098 *** BNSF 4500 *** KCS 4597 *** NS 8359. Plus my usual old freight cars, including a green CNW coil car.


On the way at 9:30 a.m. just crossing the Broadway Bridge.  The Broadway Bridge started construction in 1921 and was opened on March 14, 1923. It serves an average of 24,000 vehicles each day. In early in 2015 it will be torn down and replaced with a new bridge.
