Here's NS 8102, the Pennsylvania heritage, passing Union Station Little Rock, AR today, Friday July 18, 2014 on an empty northbound oil train, the OSNES-17 from St James, Louisiana. This has been the 4th time through here on an oil trains in less than 2 months, the first time was May 27 (then June 14, July 1 and today July 18). I caught it on the opposite side of the tracks today, taken from the north side. I also included one photo of UP 6721, the former CNW Operation Lifesaver unit, which was a dpu on an empty coal train today.  Plus a couple more trains including the Little Rock & Western and an ex-CNW Operation Lifesaver unit.

ADN 9614 former Ashley Drew & Northern boxcar. I fail to understand why the owners of this boxcar had to butcher it by painting over the Ashely Drew & Northern lettering and trademark since THE CAR IS STILL LETTERED ADN!  I can see doing this if it was a different ID on the car. And if you're going to just paint over the old trademark, why didn't you paint over the rusty parts and do the whole boxcar?
