Sunday, August 3, 2014 at Union Station in Little Rock, Arkansas. I saw some clean and shiny UP locomotives. Also saw a bright green BN hopper on a BNSF trackage rights train, BN 459142 and DUPX 80225 TI-PURE white tank car, ICG 680128 orange hycube, GTW 305898 Grand Trunk Western hycube. Locomotives today: UP 7810, 4619, 1793, 1844, 1778, 9794, 7883, 9398, 1983, 1865, 1781 *** BNSF 7464, 6683, 4715 *** CSXT 259.

I noticed on some of the BNSF rights trains, that there is much less graffiti on their freight cars. That's good to see since I'd much rather have an old freight car without graffiti than with it, but I realize that's almost impossible these days and will still take the photo of the old car regardless if it has graffiti or not. I used to take graffiti photos years ago just for the graffiti but no longer do that routinely unless the graffiti  (crime art) is excellent. Most graffiti I see now is sorta boring.

That's good to see since I'd much rather have an old freight car without graffiti than with it, but I realize that's almost impossible these days and will still take the photo of the old car regardless if it has graffiti or not.

UP 1983 in North Little Rock at 2:08 p.m. today, August 3. Still being worked on after that fire over a week ago somewhere.


UP 1865 with GMTX 2261, both looking like a new 1-1 scale model train. From someone at UP: "That UP 1865 is the second SD40-2N rebuild that I have seen with the "baby wings". I wonder what made them change their minds and start to put those on again? "


UP 1781 and KCS 4767. Kind of a colorful placing of locomotives.
