Here's
a few shots taken of two Little Rock streetcars on Friday, December 5,
2008 near the Clinton Presidential Library stop. Also shown are the
former Rock Island-Choctaw Route passenger station, now part of the
Clinton Library, and the unused Rock Island bridge over the Arkansas
River. There's also one shot of the Heifer International complex,
next to the Clinton Library. Heifer International is a charitable
organization that donates animals to many third-world countries so they
can use them on their farms or sell them. Heifer International's
headquarters is a fully 'green' building, lit mostly by sun roofs and
uses water collected and filtered from rainfall.

LEFT-Central
Arkansas Transit's streetcar 409 at the Clinton Library stop. The
bridge straight ahead is the former Rock Island bridge over the
Arkansas River. It's not being used for anything, but future plans call
for it to become a pedestrian bridge. The building to the left is the
former Rock Island-Choctaw Route train station. It's now the Clinton
School of Public Service. RIGHT-The building to the right of the Rock
Island bridge is the main building of the Clinton Library. I've never
been inside except to visit the restaurant back in 2004.
LEFT-Changing
the poles. The streetcars reverse direction here, going back to town
and North Little Rock. This is a deadend track. RIGHT-All streetcars
are decorated for the season.
LEFT-Rock Island's main Sunbelt Line ran just to the right of the Choctaw Station. RIGHT-Heifer International headquarters.
LEFT-Leaving westbound to downtown Little Rock. RIGHT-Looking to the west along 3rd Street.
