The covers over the wind equipment read "SUZLON." From the Internet: Suzlon Energy is a global wind power company based in India. In terms of market share, the company is the largest wind turbine manufacturer in Asia (and the 5th largest worldwide. I don't know where this train was headed.
Included today:
1) Wind turbine equipment
2) KCS 4104, 4047
3) UP 8462, 3789
KCS Belle units lead a westbound train onto the Van Buren Sub at 2:42 p.m. May 27 in North Little Rock.
KCS 4104 and 4047 lead this mixed train.
UP's wind train waits on the curve off the Little Rock Sub. UP's Jenks Shops is to the right beyond the trees.
Crew change on UP 8462, which leads the wind train, at 2:53 p.m.
The train starts to leave at 3:15 p.m. I am now on the wooden overpass looking south toward Little Rock.
There is a walking path on the overpass on the north side, which is where I'm standing. The south side of the overpass is in the right lane of the bridge and it's a pretty busy roadway. Standing on the south part means you're within inches of cars passing, plus there's those power lines in the way anyway.
UP 8462.
Taken from the walkway looking north at 3:16 p.m. The track makes a sharp left turn about a mile ahead, heading northwest. The second UP unit is 3789.
Looking south. I know it's wind turbine equipment, but what do these parts do?
Into the woods it goes.
Taken from the walkway, looking south across the overpass.
A little red color on one of the containers.
Different shaped objects on the curve. It's 3:18 p.m.
Lots of green and trees.
The end of the train, 3:21 p.m.
