    Looks like some F-units headed to East St. Louis Auto Shredders.

    This unit was built as SP 7231- it became UP 9999 very briefly before going to NREX as their 9999. The train symbol is the G64- and has only recently been rescheduled as a daylight run. When I lived in Wisconsin along this line- the train was nocturnal. Nice shot.

    BNSF northbound business train at Orr siding, Tomball, TX. Didn't even know it was coming until the engineer off the train in the siding came down to tell me about it.

    Great shot from the north side of the bridge- no billboards, no wires, and best of all none of those goofy streetlights!
