Ice remained at the Amtrak station/Union Station at 1:23 p.m. It was 36 degrees, but this sits in shade most of the year. It was scrapped to the side, but melting and then refreezing at night makes it slippery.
The ramp to the Amtrak platform was dry and clear of ice.
Green signal at 1:32 p.m.
Not much ice remained after the ice storm of December 6 and 7.

The abandoned and dismantled Camp Robinson Spur that ran from the UP Van Buren Sub to Camp Pike/Robinson in North Little Rock. This is Locust street. The line was taken up in 2010. The last train I saw a train on it was in 1990 during the first Gulf War. Camp Robinson is home to the Army's 39th Infantry.
This was all full of trees but North Little Rock is making it into a biking/walking trail.
