Friday, June 25, 2010. Ever see the TV show "In Search Of..."? Well, I've been searching for this particular Union Pacific high-end flatcar since 2002, UP 262002. Why, you ask? Our Arkansas Railroad Club ran an excursion way back on April 27, 2002 from El Dorado, Arkansas to Lillie, Louisiana on the Ouachita Railroad (the OUCH) and we used this particular car as part of the train. Some from our club rode on this car in chairs, round-trip. To view photos of this past excursion on April 27, 2002, click on this link:

I received a call from a fellow Arkansas Railroad Club member about 10:30 this morning (June 25) saying that this very flatcar was on a train coming from Monroe, Louisiana to North Little Rock, Arkansas and that it should be in North Little Rock late in the day. He was right....it was the last car on the train and here are the photos:


NS 2740 lead the train with UP 262002 the final car. It arrived at Union Station at 6:38 p.m.


UP 9758 and NS 7703 were the two other locomotives.
