SNOW DAY, Wednesday, February 6, 2002 at Little Rock's Union Station. It was 32 degrees with a dark sky and light freezing mist, but the streets were ok so I ventured out. There were nine trains between 1130 am and 130 pm. It was a dark day with backlight problems, so I've enhanced some of the photos so you can see the trains better. There's also a shot taken inside the Little Rock Amtrak station, which has some of the original benches taken from Memphis Central Station back in the 1980s or early 90s. Also shown is a switch heater (fire) under the heavily used switch between the two main tracks just before going across the Baring Cross bridge.
