Got up early to see a few trains on this cold, rainy day in Little Rock, Sunday February 2, 2014. It was 35 degrees and windy. I caught 10 trains today with locomotives from UP, KCS, GMTX and  CSXT, plus saw unpatched locomotive Cotton Belt SSW 9708 in North Little Rock. Trains passed Union Station  at 8:10, 8:22, 8:29, 8:41, 9:05, 9:13, 10:09, 10:58, 11:00, and 11:25 a.m.  I also saw and photographed hycube boxcars lettered for DRGW, CNW, CN, MP, GTW, ICG (original Illinois Central Gulf in ICG colors in good shape), CSXT, NYC, UP and NS.  An interesting hopper was UP 78854, which has double-lettering of Union Pacific on the side. It looks like a 3D movie without the glasses. And a photo of a streetcar in North Little Rock.
