Friday, March 28, 2014 at Little Rock, Arkansas. It was another day of numerous showers and thunderstorms, but these train pictures were taken between the rain. Mostly UP locomotives today, except the GMTX 2157. I saw a yellow ex-CNW hopper that had the "employee owned" lettering,  a Union Equity yellow hopper, an old D&RGW hopper, two red MKT gondolas, a Southern Pacific gondola built in 7-71, red Canadian Pacific hopper next to a green AGP hopper, and a boy waving at a train with the engineer waving back.
