The Amtrak app for my smartphone showed Texas Eagle 22 arriving at 11:12 p.m., 19 minutes early, which it did.

Heading home at 11:50 p.m. I saw a Central Arkansas Transit Streetcar making it's last run of the night. It was heading north across the Main Street Bridge across the Arkansas River. Streetcars run until midnight on Thursdays, Fridays, and Saturdays and 10 p.m. on most other nights. I'm looking east on Markham Street, which goes to Union Station back of me a few blocks.
Now I'm in North Little Rock and caught the same streetcar heading to it's bed in the trolley barn here. It's 11:55 p.m.

Hot air balloons putting on a light show for people at MacArthur Park in Little Rock the night of Friday, October 24, 2014. They didn't lift off tonight but did in next morning. The MacArthur Museum, the place where General Douglas MacArthur was burn, is located in this park.
