Monday, August 1, 2011. Another hot day in store for Arkansas with highs above 100. Of interest today is that I saw two Missouri Pacific cabooses in North Little Rock, one that had been restored and repainted in 2009 and used in yard service and one that had arrived to be renovated and repainted.

Included:
1) UP 5059
2) DRGW gondola 31030 with Rio Grande emblem
3) CEFX 85861'Fat Face' graffiti
4) Missouri Pacific work cabooses 13894 (to be restored) and 13064 (was restored in 2009)


UP 5059 at Union Station, northbound at 10:33 a.m.


Rio Grande gondola, DRGW 31030. Note the Rio Grande emblem on the right.






Fat-Face graffiti.


Missouri Pacific caboose 13894, 11:53 a.m. I assume this one will be restored and repainted like a similar one back in 2009.


MP 13894.


MP 13894 and 13064 in one picture. The refurbished one on the right was painted in 2009 at UP's Jenks Shops in North Little Rock and is used in work train service, like I assume 13894 will be.
