To download the one-minute MPEG digital sound movie of the Olympic Torch Train coming through a very foggy Gurdon, Arkansas about 845 a.m. December 13, 2001, click HERE . Remember that with dialup connections it will take a few minutes to download and you must have an MPEG player, such as the Windows Media player. My email addresss: ken@trainweather.com

LEFT - A UP freight from the depot at Gurdon, Arkansas through dense fog about 8 a.m. Dec 13, 2001. RIGHT - The cauldron torch car at the end of the 19-car train at the Amtrak station in Arkadelphia, Arkansas just after the torch runner took the flame, about 925 a.m. Dec 13. The flame left the train at this point, to rejoin it at 230 p.m. in Malvern, Arkansas, then going on to Little Rock by 4 p.m. I only got photos in Gurdon, Arkadelphia and Donaldson, however.
