I took Amtrak's Texas Eagle 21 from Little Rock, Arkansas to Fort Worth, Texas, Friday, May 28, 2010 to attend the 24 Hours@Saginaw trainwatching event. My friend Jerry Nunn, a fellow retired meteorologist, picked me up at the Ticket and Transportation Center in Fort Worth (the train came in early, by the way). Here are a few train photos from that event (Ken Ziegenbein photos).
   By the way, I'm typing this June 1, which is the debut of my photo in Union Pacific's official 2010 calendar (a shot of Union Station in Little Rock).  That means every person in the country viewing the UP calendar will be seeing that photo as they change the page from May to June, sorta like a nationwide photo exhibit.
   Included today:
1) BNSF 1286, 8226, 1265, BNSF/Santa Fe Warbonnet 685
2) SSW 9642
3) UP 2085, 1960, 6734, 3965
4) NS 7565, 9274
5) RoadRailers
