Just cutoff from inbound NHS; in those days was a rare time to catch the Southern runthrough to Houston in daylight.

All of this area is now a grassy field. Shops, yard tracks, ties, everything. Gone. Ghosts of Alcos and retired locos are everywhere.....

Hmmm, snowplow on an MP15DC in Houston....

Can't believe I was shooting -2s back then, but hey, I knew the eagles wouldn't last long once Uncle Pete got going with the yellow paint.

Literally breathing it's last breaths, it waits on the placement track at Settegast

Back then it was a treat to get transcon power down in east Texas

All by it's lonesome...

Brand new. Most new stuff went throgh Hearne then Laredo, but every so often we would see some new NDeM power routed through Houston.

Milby Street used to be one of the top hangouts in Houston. Anything not MP or SP could be found there of the Houston RRs: CRIP, Burlington/BN, ATSF, HB&T.

Back when they were the pride of the fleet. Most of these are slugs or GenSets now.

Back in the transition from MP to UP. These were just recently (at the time) bumped from San Antonio coal train duty and put on Chicago-Houston/DFW Z train dities.

UP SD45 invasion! Several UP SD 45s were sent to Texas during this time along with the ex WP GP40s.
