Rock Island cover hopper 151128, built in 1969, has been in this position a very long time, off the end of the siding along the former Rock Island's Sunbelt Line along the Arkansas River near Murray Lock & Dam in Little Rock. The line to the left is the main line of the Little Rock & Western. There was another Rock car there, this one built in 1978 with the blue color. A new biking trail is located just a few feet behind the trees. They were building a new biking bridge across the Arkansas River at this location where in a few months you can ride a bike across the river on your very own bridge and trail. (Scenes of this construction at bottom of this webpage).
This is the new biking trail and the LRWN siding with the Arkansas River to the right.
Another Rock Island car on its own rails.
MKT 4573 was also on this siding. These cars looked like they were loaded with grain.
