Another southbound at 12;23 p.m. with UP 4536. I understand this train was a rail train. WPDCOR-11 (Work train-Piedmont, MO-Collinston, LA-Rail)


Both trains were stopped here waiting on a signal for over an hour, and we had to leave to go to the monthly Arkansas Railroad Club meeting before they left, so I didn't get any more photos of these two trains.
