The following photos were taken by Arkansas Railroad Club member John C. Jones, who has permission to be on UP property. It shows HA 1256, clearly a former Missouri Pacific switcher. (Norm Metcalf said that Jones' picture of HA 1256, nee MP 1256 is an SW1200 which was sold  to Tri-State Concrete, Shreveport LA on 17 Jul 1985...per Don Strack's roster at http://utahrails.net )  Randy Keller gives more details:
 s/n: 31229 b/d: Feb66 o/n: 4492-4
MP SW1200 1256,  retired Jun85.
Tri-States Concrete Co. (MP 1256), Shreveport, LA, acquired 17Jul85, remained in full MP paint and lettering.
Gifford-Hill & Co. (MP 1256), Bossier City, LA, acquired Jan88, remained in full MP paint and lettering.
Gifford-Hill & Co. (MP 1256), Delight, AR,  transferred 1990, remained in full MP paint and lettering. Plant closed Jan01.

Gifford-Hill was owned by Hanson, so the "HA" probably stands for Hanson Aggregates.  My notes for G-H Bossier City, LA call it Cart
Yard, so it looks like it is heading "back home." (Randy Keller)

The photos were taken in North Little Rock, Arkansas on July 7, 2006. It was scheduled to be in Pine Bluff July 9 and arrive in Lufkin, Texas July 10 around 11:48 a.m. on MPBSR. Final destination Cart, Louisiana on July 13. It originated in Boughton, Arkansas July 5. All photos by John C. Jones, who gave me permission to put on this site.
