Northbound Amtrak Texas Eagle No. 22 arrived at Little Rock, Arkansas 14 hours and 24 minutes late on Monday, June 15, 2015 due to flooding in Texas and a stalled freight train ahead of it north of Austin, Texas. It arrived at Union Station in Little Rock at 1:55 pm instead of its scheduled time of 11:31 pm the night before. Here are some rare daylight photos of the train at Union Station. I also added a movie of the Eagle leaving at 2:08 p.m.  It was a hot and and humid day.

Consist of Texas Eagle 22 this day was single Locomotive 117, Superliners 39018, 32077, 38007, 33023-Sightseer Lounge Car, 31033, 34085, 34082, 32098 (eight passenger cars). There wasn't a baggage car on 22 today, so one of the Superliner cars held the baggage. There were dense swarms of gnats all over the platform area-you could get a good protein meal if you held your mouth open. lol


Ticket agent Richard had the baggage cart on the platform at 1:22 p.m. The UP Maintenance of  Way truck moved shortly after this picture was mode.




UP workers were doing track work.

Good crowd at the station about 2 p.m.


Many of the parked cars belong to passengers that ride Amtrak.
