1995, the CNW Heritage unit, and Ferromex 4696 in North Little Rock,
Arkansas, Thursday, March 11, 2010. Notice that the green on the
Ferromex matches the green on the CNW Heritage locomotive. I've also
included a shot of a Central Arkansas Transit Streetcar crossing the
Arkansas River on the Main Street Bridge between Little Rock and North
Little Rock.

(North Little Rock is to the right on the north side of the

The Arkansas River flows to the east and southeast and
traverses the U.S. states of Colorado, Kansas, Oklahoma, and Arkansas.
At 1,469 miles, it is the sixth longest river in the United States, the
second-longest tributary in the Mississippi-Missouri system, and the
45th longest river in the world. Its origin is in the Rocky Mountains
in Lake County, Colorado, near Leadville, and its mouth is at Napoleon,
Arkansas. The Arkansas River drainage basin covers nearly 195,000 sq
mi. (A
lot of the Arkansas River's water is glacier melt and it's interesting
that it begins near Leadville, Colorado, home of the Leadville,
Colorado & Southern Railroad)
