Western Railroad Discussion > Cool, windy trains Little Rock Saturday

1-UP 1844 leads a northbound past Union Station Little Rock at 12:56 p.m. Sep 13.
2-Worn UP 2484.
3-Sharp, clean UP 8186

On my personal webpage today:
A breezy, chilly day at Little Rock's Union Station on Saturday, September 13, 2014 with cloudy skies and temperature at 11 a.m. 58 degrees. I caught 5 trains before I had to leave, including locomotives from UP and NS. There was a middle school football game at the school across the tracks, which added to the Fall-feeling of the day. I also saw a pigeon on the tracks, Southern 531263 boxcar, KRL 340323 heavy hauler with a transformer, and MKT 572 green short hopper.

Locomotives today: UP 5743, 7388, 7692, 8594, 1844, 1878, 1781, 800, 4153, 9647, 8757, 5188, 8186, 9501, 2484 **** NS 8770, 9240

Love the switchers and the new GE's

Nice look at the SD40Ns. Hopefully the SD60 will be wearing new paint soon too.

Apparently no Board of Directors train has ever passed by the 2484! I have never seen any other UP locomotive in such a rough paint job still in service!

You got the UP 1878. That is the freshly rebuilt ex-UP 3300 United Way unit. Guess we know what the paint plans for it are now.

Here's a cropped closeup on former UP 3300, now UP 1878. Plus UP 3300 when it arrived in NLR June 11, 2014.
