Tuesday,
July 7, 2009 at Union Station in Little Rock, Arkansas. I happened to
be there when a large group of children hosted by some Diocese walked
by the station. They were on an educational walk through places where
the homeless sometimes are present so the children could see how
homeless live. The lady I talked to said they were walking near
railroads as well as downtown areas so the children could see what kind
of life the less fortunate live. She said the group was
from all across Arkansas.
Also included today was my
favorite Santa Fe Warbonnet, No.160, on the BNSF local at the station.
While it was there, two UP trains passed it minutes apart.
Included today:
1) Santa Fe 160
2) UP 5072, 7402, 9314
3) EEC new red boxcar
4) Children on a mission

These were taken from the Cantrell Road overpass.
Group
of children on the south side of Union Station walking the paths of the
homeless for education. Some Diocese was heading this group. All I told
them was to watch out for trains.
