Several trains passing Union Station in Little Rock, Arkansas on both Saturday January 25 and Sunday January 26, 2014.  Locomotives: UP, BNSF, CSXT, CP, NS, Ferromex, Amtrak 66 on the Texas Eagle, and former SP's with UP patches. Also included: several old 'fallen flag' freight cars, some built in the 1970s - BCOL 60324 green BCRAIL boxcar - MP 706453 hopper, built 12-77 with the MoPac Buzzsaw -  TR 585588 blue gondola -  SRN 7158 Greenville & Northern Railway boxcar -  CSXT 507856 boxcar with Charlie Brown comics on it -  A stack train had several flatcars with white container covers (According to Raymond Hamm, the covers were covering coil steel, he's never seen then on a flat like that before). .  Plus lots more freight cars.

I also got a few streetcar shots downtown Little Rock. There was a vivid sunset on Sunday, which I also got pictures of and a closeup of a pigeon.
