Here are a few photos taken Saturday, February 17, 2007 at the Brinkley Depot Museum in Brinkley, Arkansas. For several hours (9 a.m. to 11:28 a.m.) I could see trains in the distance waiting to move. I assume there was trackwork somewhere south of Brinkley. The trains started coming every 10 minutes or so after 11:28. Included today: NS 9885, 2528, 2548 *** UP 9240, 4949, 1982, 1988 (last two Heritage units). Also, Santa Fe 908 in Warbonnet colors. I could not see any BNSF markings on this locomotive. Am I missing something? (Photos by Ken Ziegenbein)




NS autotrain approaching from Memphis, 11:28 a.m.  The waiting was over as I could see this train in the distance since 9 a.m.


NS 9885.


UP 9240 from Memphis, 11:43 a.m.


NS 2528 from the north (Jonesboro Sub) at noon. Notice the second unit.


Santa Fe Warbonnet 908, second in the consist. I could not see any BNSF markings on this locomotive.


Another view of SF 908. Is this an unpatched unit or am I missing something?


NS 2548, 12:12 p.m.


UP 4949, 1:41 p.m.


UP 1982 and 1988 Heritage units at 3:01 p.m. The old depot to the left is the former Missouri Pacific depot from Monroe, Arkansas, about 20 miles south of Brinkley. That track to Monroe was taken up many years ago. The depot was moved to the museum grounds a couple of years ago.
