The area where I live now is UP territory. Amtrak runs two train each day, one going north to St. Louis/Chicago, one going South to Dallas. UP runs a ton of trains through here. Some of the old Rock Island trackage is now used by Little Rock & Western, but a great deal of it was taken up sometime in the 1980s. [:(] [V] [:(] <br /> <br />Years ago this area saw service by Missouri Pacific (now part of UP), Rock Island, and SSW (Cotton Belt, also now part of UP). Each of these railroads ran passenger trains during their heyday. Before these three larger railroads there was a hodge podge of smaller railroads that sooner or later merger into the larger railroads of the 1940s, 1950s.
