A sunny day and trains at Union Station in Little Rock, Friday April 25, 2014. A catch of the day was Citirail locomotive CREX 1328, fondly knows as a "C-REX" locomotive. There were locomotive roadnames from UP, BNSF and CREX today. Also, a bird, two airplanes, a rainbow from yesterday, and my usual old freight cars including NAHX 65674 ex-Rock Island blue hopper, HPJX 147167 braced hopper, WP 7712 Western Pacific hopper, lots of car/truck frames, NW 604541 Norfolk and Western boxcar, DRGW 10045 old Rio Grande hopper. Feeling somewhat lazy and tired today, I took most of these pictures sitting in a lawn chair on the platform at the fence with my legs crossed and letting the world of trains roll by.
