A great selection of trains passing Union Station in Little Rock, Arkansas on Sunday, July 19, 2015. There were seven roadnames of locomotives today including UP, KCS, GMTX, NS, CSXT, /BNSF and  CEFX. One train by itself had locomotives with KCS, UP, NS, CSXT and GMTX in the consist, very colorful. Also today I saw two Greenville & Northern Railway green boxcars, Federal FPB woodchip cars, Siemens transformer on a heavy hauler, Cotton Belt hopper built 6-77, two MKT short green hoppers and one MKT red gondola. I also got some photos of the front of Union Station opposite track level, where workers enter to go to their offices.
