Sunday
afternoon, March 29, 2009 at Union Station in Little Rock. A quiet
afternoon, but I caught 3 trains, including 2 BNSF trains. It was
sunny, but by 4 p.m. the sun was parallel to the tracks, so shadows
were on both sides of the trains.
Included today:
1) BNSF 7560, 1002, 7458
2) CN 5638
3) UP 6900, 6039
4) Red Canadian Pacific Railway boxcars.
5) CSX/NYC boxcar 243115.
BNSF 7560 and CN 5638 lead a mixed train, including autoracks, northbound at 4:11 p.m. March 29.

CSX/NYC boxcar 243115.
UP
6900 leads an empty coal train, 4:22 p.m. A friend of mine was the
engineer, but I didn't know it until the train passed me and he waved.
DPU, UP 6039.
BNSF
1002 leads the BNSF thru train past me at 5:22 p.m. Remember that I'm
looking almost directly into the sun and had to do some
photo-editing/clarifying to get a halfway decent shot.
BNSF 7458.
A couple of other railfan regulars were here.
