A long BNSF crude oil train passed Union Station in Little Rock, AR on Thursday, February 2, 2012,  one of several crude oil trains that pass through here each week. I understand that these go to St James, near New Orleans for refining into diesel fuel and I've also heard that most of that diesel fuel is then exported. If anybody knows for sure what happens to the crude, let me know.

Included today:
1) UP 6024, 6037, 7378, 9773, 4239
2) BNSF 989, 5388
3) BNSF/Santa Fe Warbonnet 688
4) Crude oil train and movie
5) '2010' clown graffiti on hopper TGSX 443453
