A rarely seen visitor in Texas, EMDX 1204 sits outside the fence for the first time since late November.

Extra 987 moves west through San Antonio heading for El Paso one summer afternoon.

So great to catch one of these on a train, new and clean.

UP's E9s depart San Antonio for Houston on the famed Sunset Route. Photo taken on the restored Hays St. Bridge which now affords pedestrians and bicyclists a nice view of the San Antonio skyline ... (more)

How do we get along without the old "rent a wreck" master SP. Sooner or later everything showed up. This beast was nee SAL, ex-SCL, ex-SBD, ex CSX and one of a only a few in a proper VMV paint j... (more)

An clean SP GP9 in the "Rudolph" color scheme is coupled with a Cotton Belt F7 as they run to the SP engine terminal.
