Steam Train Arriving for Servicing |
| Description: |
A friendly guy alerted us that he was on the way and before we knew it, the beautiful UP Train SMRNL 24 crept into the depot at 12:44 P.M., 1 hour and 44 minutes late of it's original scheduled arrival of 11:00 A.M. It was well worth the wait for everybody, this is one sharp looking locomotive. They also did their monthly test of the Tornado Sirens just before the train arrived, so maybe the 844 will be pulling into town the next time I hear them. |

Departing |
| Description: |
The steam train departed at exactly 1:00 P.M., just 16 minutes after arriving, but they departed 1 hour and 30 minutes late of their original scheduled departure of 11:30 A.M. The UPRR Special Agent walked along the tracks for a moment to keep any spectators from getting too close. I recorded a video of the train leaving after this photo. |

Highballing Northbound |
| Description: |
We were sure that we hadn't caught the train, but we saw 2 crossings with railfans and their cameras pointed to the south, so we knew we had to have passed it while the tracks were away from the highway in the woods. So, we pulled off, set up, and the train was doing 69 mph when it hit the detector. |

Northbound UP 844 and the South Central Express Heritage Tour 2006 |
| Description: |
Here we see the train coming over the Ouachita River and Highway 7 just north of the town of Arkadelphia with UP 844 Pulling the South Central Express Heritage Tour 2006 as UP Train SMRNL 24. Engineer Steve Lee had just cracked the throttle on UP's FEF-3 Class 4-8-4 Northern "Living Legend" and the smoke rolled with the whole train in view. They also let off some water on an open convertable on the highway. My friend, Alex recorded an awesome video of it (and later nearly taped over it) and my dad watched. The other two fans took stills like I did. With highs in the mid 90s today and lots of sun, this was a great day to chase big steam through the Natural State! |

Fuel Stop |
| Description: |
The train sat in Texas long enough this morning behind freights that it did not have enough fuel to make it on into Little Rock and had to take on some to get into town. We were in a horrible traffic jam and finally got back onto U.S. 270 and barely arrived in time to see it stopped at the depot. |
