Finally, a bright, sunny day at Little Rock on Thursday, April 28, 2011. I got a rare meet between a north and south-bound train, and one KCS train. Also one photo of a streetcar in the River Market.

Included:
1) UP 1929, 1971, 8119
2) KCS 4008, 4015
3) UP engineer
4) Streetcar in River Market


Light move from UP's North Little Rock yard to Biddle Yard in south Little Rock with locomotives UP 1929 and 1971 at 10:05 a.m. They were headed to the yard at 10:05 a.m. to pick up a train and bring it back north.


Northbound KCS 4008 and 4015, 10:14 a.m.


KCS 4015. They were hauling an empty coil train.


Coil cars.


Southbound UP 8119 at 10:40 a.m. This train was stopped and pulled up here just so the end was past 13th Street in North Little Rock. It would back up later.


The engineer of this train was getting off duty and walked over and chatted. His crew van would arrive shortly and take him wherever crew vans take people when they're through with work. I've seen him before. He said it was ok to put his picture on this page.


A northbound will soon pass the southbound, 10:52 a.m. What looks like a trash can at left is actually a cover for water supplies.


UP 1971 on the northbound at 10:53 a.m. As you can see, this was one of the units that went south past here at 10:05 a.m.


A pretty rare sight having trains pass in opposite directions since most trains are northbound through here. UP 1971 is passing UP 8119 at 10:05 a.m.




A streetcar in the River Market, 1:58 p.m.
