UP 7241, 7:59 a.m., an empty coal train.


LEFT-DPU-UP 5929. Yes, there was a 'free' rider. I was going to call UP but don't yet have those numbers in my new cell phone directory. RIGHT-Unpatched SP 9755, a regular in local service. The red nose is staying remarkably bright over the years.


LEFT-UP 4707 southbound at 8:37 a.m. This turned out to be a mixed train with a long string of containers on the rear. A Mixed Z train? Anyone know the train ID of this train? RIGHT-Once the boxcars passed, the containers followed.


LEFT-UP 4563 and CSX 5445, 8:49 a.m. RIGHT-Swift trailers.


UP 5020, 9:03 a.m.


LEFT-This Herzog gon looked like it had trees growing in it. RIGHT-UP 4923, 9:14 a.m. with 9 locomotives on the Pine Bluff local, YNL75.


LEFT-Sun's reflection. Some other locomotives in this lineup were UP 9744, 9523, 9434, 4015, HLCX 1074. This train always has many locomotives on it to transfer to Pine Bluff after being worked on in North Little Rock.


LEFT-Rio Grande hoppers. RIGHT-UP 2285, 9:45 a.m.


LEFT-UP 1540 running to Biddle Yard, former Rock Island, in south Little Rock. RIGHT-UP 4040, 10:17 a.m.
