Railfanning the Little Rock Sub at Union Station!

[@25vrd48]

The lead there by the coal train goes onto the Missouri and Arkansas railroad or what ever they call it now , thats the old Rock Island lines track that went out west .

[@UnionPacificRailroader]

Yep! It's now a joint Shortline with the LR&W (Little Rock and Western) and the AKMD (Arkansas Midland) and the reason they have BNSF on there is because of leasing locomotives. What's really neat about it is that some of those locomotives are incredibly rare, former ATSF Santa Fe B40-8Ws, some still in their bonnets! Catch them while you can! BNSF is planning on running them till they're dead!

Thank you so much, sorry for the late response!

Just to the left behind the coal train is our Arkansas State Capitol .

Yes indeed! I go to Jenks sometimes in NLR to railfan, and see the capital right over the railroad bridge! It is a beautiful shot! One shot of mine was at sunset with two ATSF C40-8Ws and a UP SD60M on an Intermodal, though that was a while ago, still one of my favorite shots of all time!
