Sunday, November 13, 2005 at Little Rock, Bald Knob, Worden, Fair Oaks and Brinkley, Arkansas. A 'true' chase today with BNSF 925 with Santa Fe lettering in the warbonnet scheme passing Little Rock's Union Station at 9:58 a.m., Bald Knob at 11:55 a.m., Worden at 12:12 p.m. and finally Fair Oaks (where the line to Memphis crosses the old SP north-south line) at 12:57 p.m. It was a cloudy and sometimes rainy day.
   Other locomotives today are: UP 5002, 8317, 4860, 4129, 3404; CSX 8394; CN 5683. The Arkansas Railroad Club had its meeting at the Bald Knob MoPac renovated depot, now home of Arkansas Traveler Hobbies. There was a good turnout even with the dark skies.  I also was at the Brinkley Union Depot Museum later in the day to help with their Christmas Open House and got a few trains passing there.
