Amtrak's northbound Texas Eagle, # 22,  had a good crowd boarding on Friday night, September 27, 2013 at Little Rock's Union Station. There was a Department of Transportation railcar on the end of the train, DOTX 221. Plus two Little Rock police cars were in the west parking lot with officers talking to 'people of interest' while the train was at the station. One passenger had a dog with him, probably a seeing eye dog. I hadn't planned on being at the station, so these photos were taken by my Droid Razrr smartphone, which does a decent job outdoors at night, but sometimes has a soft focus. 

   I got to the station at 9:45 p.m. and waited for the train to arrive. While in my car, 7 freights passed the station, all northbound, between 9:45 and 11:49 p.m.:
1) Two BNSF engines on an autorack train, 9:45 p.m.
2) Two CSX engines on a stack train
3) Two UP engines on another autorack train
4) Two BNSF engines on the BNSF local
5) Three BNSF engines on a mixed freight, 11:10 p.m.
6) One Ferromex and one UP engine on a mixed freight, 11:30 p.m.
7) Two UP engines on a chemical train, 11:41 p.m.
8) Texas Eagle, 11:49 p.m.
