Sunday,
March 14, 2010 at Union Station in Little Rock, Arkansas. An unusual
long string of UN-graffitied freight cars on one train and some of
these were old cars!
Included today: 1) UP 1540, 1539 (both repainted and overhauled), UP 6788, 7262, 7125 2) MKT green hopper 586 3) Long string of un-graffitied hoppers 4) BKTY MKT hopper with Katy trademark/emblem barely visible 5) One of my black gold sunset pictures (what lies beyond the sunset?)
LEFT-Refurbished
and repainted UP 1540 and 1539 passes the station at 11:38 a.m. These
two workhorses have been together for several years in yard service
mostly. RIGHT-UP 6788, 11:46 a.m.
LEFT-See anything unusual? NO graffiti. RIGHT-More 'rare' clean cars.
LEFT-Still more. RIGHT-Still
more. Notice this one is old enough to be rusting. How can all these
cars not have graffiti? I guess they originate and end at places that
don't have the graffiti people around.
DPU UP 7262.
LEFT-UP 7125, 12:10 p.m. RIGHT-Waste.
LEFT-MKT green hopper 586. RIGHT-BKTY gon (could not read number). This has the KATY red trademark in the
center, but it's really light. I almost didn't see it. You can still
see some red on the end of this car.
LEFT-Cropped MKT-Katy emblem. RIGHT-What lies beyond the sunset?
- - This
sunset was taken by me, Ken Ziegenbein, on February 16, 2006 from the
Main Street bridge crossing the Arkansas River at Little Rock,
Arkansas. The bridge the sun is behind is the Broadway highway bridge
with the state capitol of Arkansas just to the left of that bridge.
