After a few weeks of dry, hot weather, rain finally returned to Arkansas on Friday, September 20, 2013 and as those who follow my posts know, I like getting train pictures in the rain. So, I ventured out in flooded streets to photo trains at Union Station. Unfortunately, there was only one train while I was there, but I did get a streetcar too and a night shot of downtown Little Rock using my smartphone after the rain had ended Friday evening.


From Union Station's balcony at 11:44 a.m.


Rain got heavy again at 11:52 a.m. Central Arkansas received 2 to 4 inches of rain during the day.


UP 5157 at 1:24 p.m.




UP 5157, 4325 and 4210.


UP 4210 is missing part of the UP name.




SP 247488 newly painted boxcar, which already has some graffiti.


NSPX 20073 hopper.


DRGW 61589 Golden West Service blue boxcar. This still hasn't faded as much as others with that name.


Crape Myrtle tree at Victory Street, across the road from Union Station.


Nice weather. Temperature hovered around 70 all day. Yesterday it was 96.




HLCX 1028, 2:33 p.m.


Streetcar turning onto Broadway from Maple Street in North Little Rock in the rain.


Hummingbird in my back yard in the afternoon. Poor thing was wet.


Wet and probably mad Blue jay.


Downtown Little Rock from Verizon Arena in North Little Rock about 9:30 p.m. after the rain ended. Taken with my smartphone.
