Eastbound UP 844 and The Little Rock Express Train         
UP 844 is now backing over the Sheep Jump Flyover with The Little Rock Express UP Train SCVKC 10. This was during the UP Great Excursion Adventure. The train comes up the CK Main portion of the UP KC Metro Sub. to CP Manchester, backs over the Sheep Jump to Rock Creek, and then pulls west onto the KCT Cross Town Main. This move is done to avoid the connector track at Sheffield, where the curvature of the track is too sharp to accommodate the long wheelbase of the 844.
