Saturday, January 26, 2013 was one of the most interesting days I've had at Union Station in Little Rock. Not only were there a good number of trains, but an engaged couple were having their photos taken by a professional photographer on the platform (no, they never went on the tracks). The photographer gave me permission to also take pictures, which I did and included a couple on this webpage with trains in the background.  Also, the BNSF switching local showed up today and there was the usual variety of locomotive roadnames and fallen-flag freight cars, including an old Great Northern blue woodchip car.
