Here are a few trains at Union Station in Little Rock, taken Sunday February 20, 2011. About 10:15 a.m., there was a police chase going on and one of the cars being chased got stuck on UP Main 2 just around the corner from the station at milepost 346.9. This tied up trains for a couple of hours. I got a 32X zoom shot of it from the west side of the station platform.

There is a car stuck on the track past the overpass at 10:14 a.m. Apparently it was being chased by police and drove onto the tracks (it's on UP Main 2) and the people inside ran up the hill to the right.


GMTX 2157 was stopped, waiting for the automobile to be taken off the tracks around the curve. This incident held up trains for a couple of hour while the incident was being investigated.


Here's a 32X zoom of the incident.


Another shot showing the police cars. Notice how the front wheels of the stuck car crossed the left rail of Main 2.
