Friday, June 6, 2014 was stormy part of the day and sunny in other parts. Today I parked on the hill across the tracks from Union Station to get a different angle on things. While there a deluge of rain fell and winds gusted to over 60 mph uprooting some old trees in the Historic Arkansas Museum's site a mile away. The winds shook the car but trees around me weren't blown over. A couple of trains passed while the rain was falling so I got some shots from inside the car. There were locomotives having 4 different roadnames today: UP, BNSF, NS and CSXT. Also today: New KCS autoracks, AGR 8233 Texas Mexican Railway boxcar, BN 471669 green hopper, POTX 2865 pink Potash hopper, BN 286247 green boxcar, DOMTAR 728006 centerbeam car, bird closeup.
