Saturday,
September 12, 2009 at Union Station in Little Rock, Arkansas. Of
special interest was a southbound train headed by a single KCS unit
with a single KCS DPU unit on the end. The radio said it was the KCPB,
but it's the first time I've seen two KCS locomotives on this train.
Also saw a US Army locomotive (a red and yellow unit No. 6504) but it
was too dark in the predawn for a photo) and a locomotive being
towed in the middle of a train, RSSX 2451). Photos included today:
1) RSSX 2451 in mid-train tow
2) UP 5263
3) KCS 4600 and 4601
4) Fallen Flag freight cars: faded Rock Island boxcar HS 75306, Columbus & Greenville boxcar HS 30955, Soo Line hopper, SOO 75179, Another Columbus & Greenville Boxcar, No. HS 30901
5) CN gondola, No. CN 156375
6) Staley hopper, No. KWT 5047
