Title:  UP 844 eastbound UP Little Rock Express special train
Description:  The prize of the day, UP 844 chuffs up hill with UP 1982 putting on a show doing most of the work, sad to say they were having bearing problems and were 3 hours late today, hopefully that problem will get fixed once they make KC, todays train ran as the SMVKC 29. Leave it to point and shoot cameras to screw up an otherwise good picture.
