Blue devil graffiti. From another railfan: "The blue devil is actually an "O" making the word read "theory". Once, I heard of a gang of young delinquents from somewhere up north was responsible for the rash of "theory" tags to train cars. And, I have only seen one other theory blue devil tag. It was on a hopper in Colorado."


UP 7719 and UP/SP 6392, 12:40 p.m. at Union Station.


A cold front was starting to pass. This was the same system that caused a deadly tornado outbreak in northwest Arkansas about 6 this morning, with 3 fatalities in the town of Cincinnati on the Oklahoma border (about 150 miles from Little Rock).

Foreboding clouds over the UP tracks at Union Station. Believe it or not, only a few sprinkles of rain fell from these clouds here.
