The line is single tracked and runs from the wye (North Little Rock) at around 12th or 13th street and towards Conway, Russelville, Van Buren, Fort Smith. This is the Van Buren sub of Union Pacific. I will get some milepost numbers and post them later on. <br /> <br />The guy who told me they were always red in one direction is a retired MOPAC engineer. He also told me a story about him running 2 engines on a heavy train. He said he was going uphill and making only like 5 mph. All of a sudden a HIrail popped up over the hill headed for them. He put his train in emergency and the Hirail slammed on the brakes. They met bumber to bumber. Turned out to be some managers or such out joyridding and they didn't bother to ask for track and time. Their attitude was "no harm, no foul, now keep it quite, and back to work". <br /> <br />
