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

Wide view showing the station and the State Capitol of Arkansas.


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.

UP 7402 looked brand new.


She's enjoying the locomotives!! (I know...I have WAY too much time on my hands!!)
