I got to photograph two trains on Christmas Day 2010 passing Union Station in Little Rock, Arkansas. Included was a unit grain train with new UP hoppers. There were snow flurries, gusty winds and temperatures in the mid 30s with wind chill in the mid 20s. Later on Christmas Day I was honored and privileged to have Christmas dinner with one of the nicest families I have ever been associated with. It reminded me of Christmas time in my youth growing up in Texas, where we'd all open presents, have a great meal and even sing a few Christmas carols and play some games. To those who helped me celebrate Christmas today....I thank and bless you all. 

Included today:
1) GMTX 9095
2) UP 5952, 6491
