Union Pacific 844 steam engine and train in North Little Rock, Arkansas on Wednesday, April 4, 2012. UP 1982, the Missouri Pacific Heritage unit, has joined the train. This train will stay here in North Little Rock until April 14, when it will go to Pine Bluff on its way to San Antonio, Texas (this according to a UP person at the train).  Most of the steam crew flew back to Cheyenne, Wyoming but the engineer and a few others in the crew stayed here. Other steam crew people will fly back here next weekend to help do some kind of routine maintenance work on the engine. The train is parked behind UP's office building on 4th Street in North Little Rock, next to Jenks Shops. It is not open to the public.


UP 1982 is now part of the train.


Shiny in the sun.








Always a neat shot showing the Arkansas State Capitol in the background. I'm looking south toward Little Rock.


Crew car.


One last shot.
