A typical overcast muggy day in Port Arthur, TX. The local KCS 4:30 pm Port Arthur to Beaumont Yard job approaches the 28th street crossing. Train speed through the area is usually about 10 mph. I live about 1/2 mile away so there is plenty of time to catch a train from my house, I can hear them...
KCS Eco units on the 4:30pm KCS Port Arthur Yard to Beaumont Yard train. Returns to PA from BMT around 7:30 pm. Hwy in background is Hwy 73. Notice the old concrete milepost and whistle/horn markers.
Here sits UPY 1464 quietly on a Sunday Morning in Harlingen Tx UP Yard. The yard is being reduced and moving to Olmito Tx because the local officials cited UP would block the main streets for too long.
I finally caught a train going around this curve with the Welcome To Silsbee sign. The train is leaving the xBNSF yard in Silsbee ran by Watco (Timber Rock)and is headed to Beaumont BNSF yard.
Feel the beauty of Beaumont. No I don't think this photo will make the tourism pamphlet. Taken from Calder St, the train is stopped, picking up cars from the yard.
UP westbound train passing the old SP depot in Orange, Tx. Too bad they are in the process of changing ties in the area.
The old SP depot is up for sale.
