I'm anxiously awaiting this info soon myself, as I'll be driving to and from the NRHS convention at that time. The UP website says a complete schedule will be available on April 27th, so just a few more days to go! There is also a map and some other items on in the media kit listed on the page below. http://www.uprr.com/newsinfo/releases/heritage_and_steam/2011/0325_little-rock-express_844.shtml Dave Date: 04/18/11 12:24 Re: UP 844 to Little Rock, Arkansas Author: livesteamer The expectation is that the trip will cross Missouri on the River Sub--Lexington and Boonville, MO. UP3985 crossed Missouri last fall on the Sedalia Sub; keeping in mind that the River Sub is eastbound and the Sedalia Sub is westbound, I see that as the only option.

In the shortline world it's hard to get time off, but once you do, it's best to take as much as you can!
