NGS Benchmark EH1144 Y 30 at the Union depot in Brinkley AR

This benchmark is located trackside at the restored Rock Island RR Union Depot in downtown Brinkley AR near the "white waiting room" for rail passengers.

African American passengers had to wait to board trains outside the depot until 1961, when the Federal Interstate Commerce Commission ordered the desegregation of all buses, trains, and terminals in the United States.
