Amtrak 22, the northbound Texas Eagle, arrived at Little Rock about 4 hours late on Thursday night June 5 due to HEP electrical power failure in Texas. It arrived at 3:39 a.m. Friday, June 6 instead of the scheduled time of 11:31 p.m. June 5. It didn't leave Fort Worth until  4:30 p.m. after a protection locomotive was added to the consist to provide electrical power to the passenger cars. Locomotive 64 was placed behind the lead locomotive No. 112 at Fort Worth. This lateness meant that the southbound Texas Eagle No. 21 would get to Little Rock about 30 minutes after the northbound Eagle left, so I stayed around to get both trains. Here are some photos:
