Skittles on Halloween
This colorful consist found its way on a UP grain train to the Port of Houston this past week, consisting of CP heritage SD70ACU #7014, NS C40-9W #9456, and BNSF Executive MAC #9653. After coming in on GSNVHO-22, the consist was assigned to outbound GSHOWA-30 for Wakeeney, KS, making for a nice treat on Halloween afternoon.
After departing PTRA's North Yard, the train is seen here running south on the West Belt north of downtown Houston. It was routed out of town on the ex-SP Eureka Sub, necessitating an "around the world" trip through the terminal.
This consist was split up shortly afterward, with BNSF 9653 being set out in north Texas, and NS 9456 being set out in Salina, KS.
