LEFT-Distant southbound train on the Jonesboro Sub at 8:19 a.m. The Brinkley Sub is the track curving to the right toward West Memphis and Marion, Arkansas. RIGHT-UP 4285, 8:20 a.m. I believe this is the daily Chicago to Houston Z train.


LEFT-Baretables. RIGHT-Some UPS trailers.


LEFT-Another southbound headed by UP 4967 at 8:27 a.m. RIGHT-The crossing is US Highway 70. UP goes track speed here, which I think is 59 mph. I was using 1/500th second shutter speed.


LEFT-The front yard of the depot museum. There are tons of Zenias along the sidewalk. The building on the left is now a large bridal shop named Low's (http://lowsbridal.com/), which gets customers from all over a five-state area, including Dallas, Texas. It used to be the Rusher Hotel, which served the Rock Island,  which had tracks to the right of this hotel until the 1980s. RIGHT-UP 4001, 9:03 a.m.


RIGHT-Brinkley depot, UP Jonesboro Sub, and the Brinkley Sub. I'm standing at the Milepost 199 sign.


LEFT-Looking north. RIGHT-Colorful Zenias.


RIGHT-UP 3787, 9:57 a.m.


LEFT-UP 4486, 12:36 p.m. Note the rubber duckie. RIGHT-NS 9756, 3:59 p.m.
