UP 1998.
Amtrak Texas Eagle No.21 southbound headed by AMTK 89, 12:29 p.m. Train was 9 1/2 hours late, we were told by heavy snow in the Chicago area. It didn't get to St. Louis until 3 a.m. the time it should have arrived in Little Rock, so the delay was caused by something north of there.
The Eagle was delay an additional hour when a switch failed to lock inside the UP yards in North Little Rock.
Taken from the end of the Amtrak platform. That black barrel is not a trash can but shelters a watering pipe, which leaks water all the time.
Arriving 12:30 p.m. To see a movie of this scene, click on the picture above OR on the link below:
