On the ex Mopac |
| Description: |
If I had time and was heading to Little Rock from the north, Id take US 67 south. North of Newport, the road was next to the ex MP main most of the way. Sometimes I saw something and was able to take a photo, like this mixed bag near Hoxie |

View from the truck |
| Description: |
After I went to driving school, JB Hunt sent me out with a trainer for several weeks. We worked as a team, switching off the driving. We were rolling down I 57 one day, my trainer driving and me riding. I saw this UP train approaching from the east on the ex C&EI, and was able to get shot of it going away as it passed under the highway. The trailing unit, ex MP, is on familiar turf. Some days you win one. |

Iowa gets the fame for being the corn state, but Minnesota grows a lot of it too. We see a Wisconsin bound coal train across a sea of corn behind a pair of the home roads finest, and a UP unit. |

A CR GP40-2 leads typical power of the era past Seneca Yard with a pair of classic UP units in the mix. TV 79 went to Santa Fe at Chicago, so seeing UP power on it was unusual. |
