A few night photos at Union Station in Little Rock, Arkansas on Saturday night, October 3, 2009.  A group of rail friends were there with me. Amtrak's Texas Eagle, northbound #22, arrived while we were there, plus a few UP freights that were moving.


About a 3 second exposure, at 9:27 p.m.


Signals looking east toward the Cantrell Road overpass and Baring Cross bridge.

Passengers waiting to board the Texas Eagle at 11:02 p.m. on its way north to St Louis and Chicago. This train has been early or on time for weeks and is not scheduled to leave until 11:30 p.m.

Pretty active in the wee hours of the night at Union Station. Makes me want to take a train ride soon.
