Phase I Around the World
Deviating from its normal route, the westbound Sunset Limited #1 turns off the Houston Sub onto the East Belt at Tower 87, offering a nice view of lead P42 #161's Phase I scheme.
#1 was detoured around Englewood Yard (the base of its hump seen in the background) due to typical congestion. This route to avoid Englewood via the East and West Belts is dubbed "going around the world" by dispatchers and railfans due to its circuitous nature.
Also, some interesting loads on that parked flatbed.
