Saturday, April 29, 2006 parade of trains at Brinkley, Arkansas. It was a rainy, very windy day with wind gusts over 40 mph at times at the nearby Stuttgart, Arkansas airport. All photos were taken from inside the Central Delta Depot Museum's (former Rock Island/Cotton Belt depot) old ticket office, where I volunteer on some, but not all,  Saturdays. These trains usually go at track speed past the depot and by the time I hear them blowing for the crossing, they're right on me, so I have to hurry to the window.
   Motive power today includes: UP 7552, 5536, 3255, 4700, 2961, 6790, 5364 *** Rio Grande 8599-patched *** SP 161-unpatched, I think *** NS 2358 *** CSX 7792. Also, some John Deere tractors on a flatcar. (All photos by Ken Ziegenbein using a Sony Cyber-Shot R1 digital camera, 10.3 megapixels).
