JANUARY 13, 2004 for a quick trip to Union Station in Little Rock.  Included today were two SP units and the daily Little Rock & Western train heading west.


LRW102, westbound toward Perry, at 305 p.m.


LRW101.


You can see the sweeping curve to the right behind the school. LRW's train sizes are usually this long. The cars in the distance behind the school are on the old Rock Island's Sunbelt Line that continues to the west to Danville. The old Rock Island tracks were taken up west of Danville in the early 1980s.


A better long-distant shot of the curve.
