On Sunday, November 13, 2011, I saw a rail grinder train and got a movie of it leaving Union Station in Little Rock today plus two trains that had to use the Amtrak siding at the station because the dpu of a northbound empty coal train failed to load  before it cleared the switchpoint between Main 1 and Main 2. Trains can get on Main 2 via the Amtrak siding if needed.  

Included:
1) UP 4760, 5946, 332, 1929, 8706, 7505, 6801, 9745, 4806
2) MVPX 6945
3) CSX 5489
4) UP/SP 6158
5) RBNX 998 Reading & Northern Rwy hopper
6) NS 16885 container car
7) NOKL 380763
8) Teeth and tongue graffiti
9) BN high-end flat
10) Harsco Rail Grinder train including RMSX 0802


Green signal on the Amtrak siding at Union Station at 8:23 a.m., meaning a northbound freight will use it to get past the coal train in the distant center. The dpu of this train wouldn't load properly, so it couldn't move, meaning trains that normally use Main 2 (the track next to the Amtrak siding) need to get around that point by using the Amtrak siding.
