-- From Canada. The year was 2001.
Below are some photos I took from the old Locust Street bridge over the
west side of the North Little Rock UP yards on May 17. This road bridge
is rarely used since it's right next to the Interstate 30
overpass.
I'm looking to the east. I'm at the center of the Locust Street road
bridge, which is as high as the signal bridge.
RIGHT-This is zoomed into the west end of the yard (the major bowl is
around the curve).
Here's a satellite view of the yard complex in North Little Rock:
I took the photos of the yard from where I-30 crosses the tracks,
looking to the east. My Union Station photos are taken in the southwest
corner of the image, near Highway10. You can see the blue Amtrak symbol
there. The Baring Cross bridge over the Arkansas River is just
northeast of the station, then the tracks pass Jenks Shops and head
east.
