The train left Union Station at 3:32 p.m. (Movie of this scene below)

The following movie was made at 3:31 p.m. on Wednesday, April 21, 2010 at Union Station in Little Rock, Arkansas as UP 844 left the station for North Little Rock, where it would spend the night and next day. I took this Quicktime movie (which I uploaded to YouTube) from the Cantrell Road overpass. It's in 720p HD.
   There was lots of wind noise and numerous people talking, but you can still hear the locomotive and see Union Station and the Arkansas State Capitol in the background (I set the camera to see both structures). The movie camera was on a tripod, so the movie will be steady.
