Sunday, January 9, 2005 was cloudy, but there were a few interesting shots to take at Union Station in Little Rock. One was a Kasgro 16-axle heavy duty 450-ton depressed deck flat car. Plus there was one unaltered Cotton Belt and one two unaltered SP units today.  Contact Me if you want.






KRL (Kasgro) 450-ton Depressed Deck Flat Car No. 16450, one of only two 16-axle cars on Kasgro's roster.  The car was the second to last car on the train (shown below the stat sheet). The car's load limit is 880,000 pounds (light weight 380,000 pounds). Total length is 136'-8" over pulling faces, with the loading deck length of 28'-0" and loading deck height (loaded) of 4'-1".  Car type is FD. A heavy sucker, indeed. Kasgro's web site is:

Unaltered SP 8576 was the second unit. My shutter released a little too quickly.


Both units zoomed in.
