Friday,
February 5, 2010 at Union Station in Little Rock, Arkansas. It was a
rainy, cold day with temperatures in the mid to upper 30s, but I made
the trip specifically to catch UP 1982, the Missouri Pacific Heritage
unit, which was on a train from Houston, Texas to North Little Rock
(the QHONL). While waiting for that train, there were several other
trains running.
Including today: 1) UP 1982, 5539, 4129, 4445, 6509, 1029, 6644, 4283, 4104, 2420, 1905 2) BNSF 7307 3) CSX 5474 4) Ferromex 46x2, 4625 5) String of Procor tankcars 6) GT blue hi-cubes 7) Former Rock Island blue hoppers on one train: NAHX 65612, 65546, 65543, 65510, 65707, 65578, 65559, 65705 8) A robin
