A cool, partly cloudy day at Union Station in Little Rock, Arkansas, Saturday April 11, 2015. Several trains today including locomotives from UP, BCRAIL, NS and CSXT. Also, GATX 20586 Industrias Zahoria tank car, a family watching trains from the station's balcony, new hoppers built in April 2015. Plus my usual assortment of old freight cars. And a blast from the past-Amtrak Texas Eagle 22 with almost-new Superliners and Cotton Belt steam locomotive 819 at Union Station in Little Rock on June 16, 1986. It was around midnight. I found this photo recently. This is at the end of the page.
