Bummer for a RailFan

I have 2 "bummers" for today. [:(] [:(] <br /> <br />#1 <br /> <br />I went railfanning at Little Rock's Union Station today. Usually a fairly busy place, I was there for 2 hours and only saw one train. [:(] <br /> <br />#2 <br /> <br />So I decide to leave. As I was driving across a bridge I noticed a train heading that way with a blue engine. So I decided to try to check it out. In driving all over the place to try to get to see it I also noticed that the second engine looked like a Suzie Q. Now that would be very rare for these parts, maybe not for New York but for Arkansas very rare.There were actually about 2 and maybe 3 trains that looked like they were ready to cross the river and go into Little Rock. So I found a place that would be a good shot, I also took the angle of the sun into consideration in choosing the spot. This spot just happened to be by the Bearing Cross Railroad Bridge (where I got the poison ivy last time [:(] ) and I saw someone illegally cross the bridge on foot. I waited for this rare engine to come my way. It never did. I wait for it almost 45 minutes too. So I went back to see if it was still there. It wasn't. I guess instead of going south into Little Rock that they went west to Fort Smith. So I missed seeing if the engine was an ex Suzie Q or possibly a current Q out running around. [:(!] [V] <br />
