Southbound Manifest After Severe Storms |
| Description: |
High winds and tornadoes knocked out power, blew down trees, and the power line in the background south of here. The Jonesboro Sub. and all the trains north of Piggott, AR were halted for a while, offering this shot with the sun setting under the passing clouds on the back of the storm system. This was shortly before...more storms. |

Tucked in on the tail end of #21 tonight at 1:36 was this Cabbage headed back to Texas for use on the Heartland Flyer. Somebody had told Conductor Bill to "check the fuel in the rear engine". We decided somebody was messing with him when he mentioned that it has a baggage compartment and no engine, not to mention no fuel sight glass. The lead unit was AMTK 40. |

Southbound Manifest With UP 7878 Ex-MP SD40-2 Leading |
| Description: |
It's been a long time since I'd gotten to see an ex-MP Non-Dynamic Brake Equipped SD40-2 leading a train. I finally got to see one again today. UP 7878 was built as MP 3309 in December 1979 with a Builder's Number of 796308-8. This combination of motive power made one heck of a racket. This unit was actually retired in 2001, and then reactivated in 2003. |
