For the first time ever, Union Pacific (UP) allowed the public to route where their steam giants will travel in 2011. On January 18, the votes were in, tabulated, and the winner announced . . . The Little Rock Express!

Starting in Kansas City, MO, the The Little Rock Express route will travel through more than 60 Missouri communities with stops in Booneville, Jefferson City, Chamois, St. Louis, Cape Girardeau, Dexter and Poplar Bluff. UP will announce the excursion date and other details in the coming weeks. Follow UP on Facebook and Twitter for the latest information.
