On Thursday night, May 22, 2014 at the Amtrak station in Little Rock, I saw a BNSF freight pass that had a long string of ATSF-Santa Fe and BN Burlington Northern hoppers. About 90 percent of the train had hoppers with the ATSF and BN names on them, quite unusual for me to see so many on one train. Unfortunately, I was inside talking to the Amtrak station agent when the lead BNSF locomotives passed and I didn't get their numbers, but managed to go out and get a few shots of the hoppers.  A person on Trainorders.com said that was an empty unit tie train. It was handed off to UP at Little Rock and will go to Russellville, AR to the Stella-Jones tie treating plant.

Included are photos of hoppers ATSF 179?40, 178468, 176033, 178667, 178976, 178770, 179676, 179677, 179714, 179469, 178649 plus other Santa Fe hoppers I couldn't read the numbers on. BN hoppers 575(?), 575442,575726, 527865, 575330 plus others unreadable in the lighting.Some of the numbers could be misread because of poor lighting.

Here's my photos. Unless you're a Santa Fe or Burlington Northern hopper fan, this might be kind of boring, but I'll post it for the record.
