The clouds began to break late in the afternoon on Sunday, November 6, 2011 at the station in Little Rock, Arkansas, so I decided to get some train photos and sunset photos. BNSF/Santa Fe 683 with a faded number 683 was on one train and I could not see any BNSF lettering on it at all. On a few photos I used the "Dynamic Art" setting on my Panasonic Lumix DZ40 digital camera. It worked well in the dim light but not on moving objects, where a 2-car train turned out blurry. 

Included:
1) UP 4534, 6928, 7018, 4029, 7618
2) UP/SP 2047
3) CSX 155
4) BNSF 5333, 993
5) Santa Fe 683 in warbonnet colors. I didn't see any BNSF lettering on it at all, but the lighting was dim and the number 683 was severely faded.
6) TBOX 661531 new boxcar
7) MP 274510 new hi-cube boxcar
8) Fall colors
9) Vivid sunset
10) Moon closeup
11) 'Dynamic Art' photo
12) One-car wood product train
