I wasn't planning on doing any train photography at Little Rock today, Wednesday December 11, 2013, but on my way home from a Christmas party, I saw two NS locomotives sitting in front of Union Station from street on the hill behind the station. So, I HAD to go there to check them out. I stayed for a couple more trains, including one that had two red MKT gondolas together.  Then I went downtown to get a few shots of streetcars later in the day.

Included:
1) NS 8317, 2673
2) UP 6874, 5780, 4022, 1378, 3860, 5766, 5747
3) UP 355275 old yellow boxcar
4) AOK 112429 boxcar newly painted or new
5) MKT 16175 and 16381 red Katy gondolas hooked together
6) Streetcars downtown
7) Gas lamps downtown and the Moon taken through a lamp


After attending a Christmas party at an office behind Union Station, I saw these two NS locomotives sitting in front of Union Station. Although I wasn't planning on doing any rail photography today, I just had to check them out, so I went to the station.

Gas lamps on Markham Street.


Feeling a little artsy, I took a picture of the Moon through the gas lamp with the lamp out of focus.
