Here's
a few train photos I did the past week (December 4 through December 11,
2009) . I did a little 'doctoring' on one with my usual sense of humor.
Union Pacific has a new cement sign at the entrance to their North
Little Rock yard which was decorated for Christmas and I've also
included a photo of that. Included on this page:
1) UP 1539, 9400 2) Central Arkansas Transit streetcar 411 and 408 3) HLCX 3801 4) SP 9755-unpatched 5) KCS 4541 and 457 on an intermodal, the only locomotives on the train 6) New UP sign at the entrance to the North Little Rock Terminal 7) M.O.W equipment
LEFT-UP 1539 passing the Christmas-enhanced cedar tree on December 4 at Union Station. (The ornaments were electronically added, but the red bow on the train is real). RIGHT-New
UP sign at the entrance to the North Little Rock Terminal on December
6. After this was taken, more ornaments were place on it.

9400 passing the station on December 6 at 11:27 a.m. RIGHT-Southbound

Arkansas Transit Electric Streetcar 408 decorated for Christmas, taken
at the River Market stop on December 9 (Wednesday) in Little Rock. RIGHT-From
inside the streetcar heading east to the Clinton Library, passing
streetcar 411 heading west on 3rd Street. They will have a 2010
streetcar calendar again this year, ready by the end of December. I was
told today (December 11) that
I'll have 10 of the 13 pictures in this calendar and that I'd be given
100 to give away. If anyone wants one again, I'll send you one
free, postage included. Central Arkansas Transit will give me the
calendars and envelopes and I'll pay the postage. Last year I gave away
150, mainly from requests from the Railspot Yahoo Group and
Trainorders.com sites. I'll let you know when they are ready, but they
can't be guaranteed for Christmas. One person in Salem, Oregon has
already put in his request.

leave before it got arrived. RIGHT- MOW machinery.
