Union Pacific 844 In Texas

Union Pacific 844 Travelled From Ft. Worth to Hearne on Saturday April 10, 2010 on its way to Harlingen.  Below are videos from Corsicana and Mexia as the 844 Made Its Way South Down The UP Ennis Sub.

MFWSA Detouring on the Waco Sub

In a rare move, I caught the UP MFWSA (Ft Worth - San Antonio) train departing Taylor last week on the Waco sub.  There has been significant trackwork on the Austin Sub so the train departed to the South and took the Waco sub on its detour to San Antonio.  Not sure if it rerouted through Flatonia, or reversed the locomotives again at Smithville (not sure if the locos ran around the train at Taylor, or if they reversed it back into the yard like Amtrak the previous week) but I caught it at Coupland and crossing the Austin Western railroad in Elgin.  Video 1 is the train just south of Coupland along HWY 95 and video 2 is in Elgin.  

UP 5019 Leads Amtrak's Texas Eagle 3/12/2010 Taylor, Texas

UP 5019 led Amtrak's Northbound Texas Eagle into Taylor this morning with Amtrak 120 on the end.  The train made reverse move North onto the Waco Sub then backed South across the interlocker then back West into Taylor Yard to position 120 North and cut off the UP motor in the yard.  An Amtrak crew boarded and the train departed up the Waco Sub to Temple.
