UP 1996, the Southern Pacific Heritage unit, passed Union Station in Little Rock, Arkansas on Saturday night, April 27, 2013, at 10:17 p.m. on the North Little Rock bound QSPNL-27. I used a high sensitivity 12,800 ISO to get the shots from the Amtrak platform so I could use a shutter speed of 1/250th so the train wouldn't be as blurry. You will, of course, see some noise in the photo. I also included other trains tonight including two other UP freights and CN and CSX locomotives, and the 'airplane' graffiti on autorack TTGX 160854.


Train approaching 10:16 a.m. with UP 1996 leading.

Lighting would have been better had the train been on Main 2 (next to the Amtrak siding) instead of Main 1.


UP 8406.


CN 3895. The train was moving at track speed, probably 20 mph.


Earlier, at 10:08 p.m., this colorful signal display was seen looking toward the Baring Cross bridge.
