A steady passage of trains passed Union Station in Little Rock on Sunday, June 1, 2014 and I included a couple of shots from May 30 as well, including a streetcar in heavy rain downtown. There were 4 different names on locomotives today: UP, NS, GMTX, BNSF. One of the BNSF units was #927, a Santa Fe Warbonnet with only a very faded BNSF lettering under the number. Also freightcars SRN 7201 ex-Greenville & Northern Railway boxcar in good condition, RISC 3861 Hampton Lumber Car Sales car, a venting pipe on a distant UTLX tank car, GTW 126108 hycube boxcar that is 86.6 feet long - 9.2 feet wide - 12.9 feet high and stores 10,000 sq. feet. Plus I got a photo of a long earthworm.
