Southbound UP 844 - UP 1982 and The Little Rock Express Train
Title:  Southbound UP 844 - UP 1982 and The Little Rock Express Train
Description:  UP 844 and UP 1982 are leaving Poplar Bluff after its first visit since 1996 with The Little Rock Express UP Train SCGBK 06. This was during the UP Great Excursion Adventure. The first time I rode a locomotive was here in 1994, the first steam engine I rode on was in almost the same spot on this engine in 1996. That day was also the last time a steam locomotive rolled through PB.

A lot of people voted for this thing to visit Poplar Bluff, and I'm proud to call it my hometown, at least today. A downtown district that's getting back on track, both depots survive, one restored, the other on its way, and today we boasted arguably the most famous locomotive in the country. Life is good.

Title:  Northbound UP 844 - UP 1982 and The Little Rock Express Train
Description:  UP 844 and UP 1982 comes north through Sheffield Interlocking, and under the NS RoadRailer with The Little Rock Express UP Train SCVKC 10. This was during the UP Great Excursion Adventure. I wonder how many other people have a shot of a UP steamer and RoadRailer equipment in the same shot.

Eastbound UP 844 and The Little Rock Express Train
Title:  Eastbound UP 844 and The Little Rock Express Train
Description:  UP 844 is now backing over the Sheep Jump Flyover with The Little Rock Express UP Train SCVKC 10. This was during the UP Great Excursion Adventure. The train comes up the CK Main portion of the UP KC Metro Sub. to CP Manchester, backs over the Sheep Jump to Rock Creek, and then pulls west onto the KCT Cross Town Main. This move is done to avoid the connector track at Sheffield, where the curvature of the track is too sharp to accommodate the long wheelbase of the 844.
