A Union Pacific passenger special passed Union Station in Little Rock, Arkansas on Friday, May 14, 2010, arriving 7:18 p.m and leaving 7:30 p.m. It stopped because the drawbridge of the Baring Cross Bridge over the Arkansas River was raised for a barge and the train sat at the station for 10 minutes. It was going to Council Bluffs, Iowa and originated in New Orleans, Louisiana earlier in the day. UP 4095 headed the two-car special, which included dome car UPP 9005 Walter Dean and observation car UPP 103 Cheyenne. Here are some photos and two embedded YouTube video links. Thanks to a Conway railfan for giving me the heads up on this train. (Ken Ziegenbein photos and videos).
