Last week we teamed up with TaMolly's and treated our employees to a snack at break time. It’s not a huge gesture, but we sure do love letting our public servants know their hard work is noticed and appreciated.

Union Pacific Big Boy 4014 Visits Texarkana
Union Pacific Big Boy 4014 Visits Texarkana

The largest steam locomotive in the world made a stop this morning in downtown Texarkana. It's longer than two city buses and weighs more than a Boeing 747. Union Pacific No. 4014 pulled into the train yard and was met by hundreds of people who came out to see it. Originally put into service in 1941, it hauled trains of up to 4,200 tons across the country. After 4014 was retired in 1959, it sat idle in a California railroad museum for the next six decades. It was restored over the last three years and started a tour across the southern US earlier this year. We hope you were able to come out and see it. It was truly an awesome sight. Here is a short video that gives a taste of the experience for those of you who couldn't make it. Video credit - Dawn Parker

Hats off to Christus-St. Michael in Texarkana, TX for the Covid Vaccine Clinic this weekend. It was a well oil-welled machine with all the logistics in place including traffic, parking, check-in, getting the shot and TOTAL hospitality to the end. So proud T-Town is a hub now.
While the city has gone beyond measure during the snow storm, TWU continues to be a problem with billing. We are getting charged for irrigation when the system has been turned off by TWU since November.

I don't know who the genius was that decided that starting a road work project at the intersection of McKnight Rd and Pleasant Grove Rd at 7:30 AM on a School day (school starts at 7:45) didn't think it through. Traffic was backed up and there was total chaos trying to get kids to school and the workers were clueless that they were the cause of the problem...
