On Friday night, June 27, 2014, Amtrak northbound Texas Eagle 22 arrived at Union Station in Little Rock, AR  15 minutes early, arriving at 11:16 p.m. Here are a few scenes of the busy station at train-time. There were no special groups, just regular individual/family ticket-holders. Nice to see a busy Amtrak station, especially in the middle of the night.


Union Station with the Arkansas State Capitol in the background.


People starting gathering shortly after 10 p.m. The Amtrak agent doesn't get here until 10:30 p.m.


Android Amtrak app shows 22 expected at 11:14 p.m. It actually got here at 11:16, 15 minutes early.


Lining up at 11:08 p.m.


Baggage and riding carts on the platform at 11:12 p.m.




Arriving 11:14 p.m.


Stopped at 11:16 p.m.




11:18 p.m. The train will have to wait until the scheduled departure time of 11:39 p.m., so it'll sit here for over 20 minutes.


A combination of boarding and de-boarding passengers makes for  busy place.


From across the parking lot on the west side of the station at 11:34 p.m. There were 8 passenger cars tonight instead of the usual 7. Still only one locomotive (no. 190).


Leaving at 11:39 p.m. being passed by a southbound UP freight to the left.


UP 8053, 11:40 p.m. UP will actually hold some freights to allow the Eagle to proceed in it's 'window' of time.
