Date: 08/27/16 06:56 Re: RBBB Red--Aug. 29--Austin TX to Little Rock AR Author: NormSchultze What is the plan leaving Austin? I presume that Austin Western will make up the train and deliver to UP. Likely after the morning rush hour of the commuter DMUs. On the UP at about 1100. Correct?
Date: 08/27/16 10:53 Re: RBBB Red--Aug. 29--Austin TX to Little Rock AR Author: Eagle22 I do not have the routing to Little Rock; but do presume run to Little Rock will be an all UP via Palestine, Texarkana, In previous years, the train will layover all day Monday and depart late (10-11 pm) on Austin and Western to the UP interchange at McNeil. It will be an all day Tuesday run on the UP in east Texas and Arkansas.
