At Little Rock's Union Station, about 1:10 a.m. on Thursday, October 21, 2004, northbound Amtrak 22, the Texas Eagle, had two private cars on the rear, the "Evelyn Henry" (#800149) and "Warren R. Henry" (#800148). "Creative Charters" was written on each car. Here are 4 photos. The dome car, "Warren R. Henry," was in the dark at the end of the train, so I had to get an 8-second exposure, but it showed up nicely. Also, there are small trees and shrubs where they were spotted, so I couldn't get a straight shot from the side. They were on their way to Albany, New York and originated in Houston.  They were occupied.


The "Warren R. Henry" dome car at the end of the train. I had to aim the camera in the dark and took this 8-second exposure at F2.8. Extra power was required on this train because of these two private cars.


The "Evelyn Henry" - The train didn't stay long enough to play with the camera settings, so it is somewhat overexposed since this car was under the light.

Closeup of the name. I ran this one through the automatic enhancement tool of Paint Shop Pro, as I also did the first one above.
