Southbound UP 844 - UP 1982 and The Little Rock Express Train
Title:  Southbound UP 844 - UP 1982 and The Little Rock Express Train
Description:  UP 844 and UP 1982 are leaving Poplar Bluff after its first visit since 1996 with The Little Rock Express UP Train SCGBK 06. This was during the UP Great Excursion Adventure. The first time I rode a locomotive was here in 1994, the first steam engine I rode on was in almost the same spot on this engine in 1996. That day was also the last time a steam locomotive rolled through PB.

A lot of people voted for this thing to visit Poplar Bluff, and I'm proud to call it my hometown, at least today. A downtown district that's getting back on track, both depots survive, one restored, the other on its way, and today we boasted arguably the most famous locomotive in the country. Life is good.

Mo-Pac Depot Restoration
Title:  Mo-Pac Depot Restoration
Description:  The depot's restoration progresses, as the 1910 St. Louis Iron Mountain & Southern structure gets its first new roof since the 1970s. The depot originally had a clay tile single roof, which it lost to asphalt shingles in the 70's, and is now getting a steel roof formed like clay shingles. Looking snazzier by the day.

Northbound UP Intermodal Train
Title:  Northbound UP Intermodal Train
Description:  After getting the UP Special Agent (and longtime friend) called on me, UP Train ZMQYC 15 rounds the curve at CP Y166 Henderson on the UP!Hoxie Sub. Apparently a city cop called the railroad on me and RMCC sent Steve (whom has known me since I was a fetus) to check me out. He was pretty amused that not only a railfan was called!in at Poplar Bluff, but it was me of all people--a guy that's only around here a half dozen days a year now.

"Ghost Train" Aftermath
Title:  "Ghost Train" Aftermath
Description:  This was the SUV stuck by Amtrak #21 on June 5th at the Wilcox Road Crossing north of Poplar Bluff on the UP De Soto Sub., killing 2 of the 5 girls inside. They were parked on the tracks participating in a popular area myth about a "ghost train". Basically the entire circumstances surrounding the myth are completely made up, but that doesn't stop people from trying to get the ghost story to work. Anyway, these girls weren't so lucky whem an actual train showed up. My mom had one of the girls in 1st grade a few years ago.
