Good morning, Pris! I enjoyed your shot of the Iron Mountain Depot in Walnut Ridge on Arkansas Ties. It reminded me of the time my parents took me there in 1988 to see Michael Dukakis deliver a presidential campaign speech. If memory serves, Iron Mountain in Walnut Ridge and Union Station in Little Rock are the only active Amtrak stops in Arkansas.   David

It doesn't look like it, but this train is actually flying by the depot at probably 60 to 70 miles an hour.  I guess it didn't need to stop.  ;)
