It was a SUNNY day at Little Rock, Sunday June 2, 2013 and there were lots of trains. Of special interest today was a mixed freight headed by a CN unit and Illinois Central 1010, an oil train headed by two nice Canadian Pacific red units, and a Texas Mexican green boxcar. Counting UP 9171, a former SP locomotive and UP 2003, former Cotton Belt, I counted TEN different roadnames today on locomotives: UP, CSX, CN, IC, GMTX, HLCX, CP and NS. The only roadname I didn't see today was BNSF, which I see almost every time I'm at the station.
