Sunday, December 7, 2008 (the 67th anniversary of the Pearl Harbor attack, which was also on a Sunday). Included today are a few UP trains at Union Station in Little Rock, plus I stopped at Alltel Arena in North Little Rock to get a couple of pictures of the vehicles used by the Ringling Bros. and Barnum & Bailey Circus (the 'Gold' unit, which travels by truck/RV caravan only).  This is Ringling Brothers' one-ring circus called 'Boom-A-Ring.'

Included today:
1) UP 7739, 4459, 3809, 9136, 5698, 8335
2) Pipe gondola loaded high
3) Two intermodals with DPU's
4) Ringling Bros. and Barnum & Bailey semi's and caravan

LEFT-UP finally took out the extra switch on the Amtrak siding, which used to attach to a very short section of unused track that used to be the line that ran along the Arkansas River through Little Rock. RIGHT-UP 7739, 9:33 a.m.


LEFT-DPU-UP 4459. RIGHT-UP 3809 leads 7 other UP units southbound at 9:57 a.m. This train was pretty long, but not long enough to warrant 8 locomoitves. Some were deadheading.


RIGHT-To me, this highly stacked load of pipes looked unstable. But I guess it wasn't.


LEFT-'Have a Nice Day'!! RIGHT-UP 9136, 10:11 a.m.


LEFT-UP 5698 on another I-train, 10:23 a.m. RIGHT-DPU UP 8335.


LEFT-The Ringling Bros. and Barnum & Bailey Circus caravan of trailers. They will travel east to North Carolina from here.
