When They Were New

At just 3 months old, UP 8957 is looking pretty sharp on the point of this frac sand train headed through southwest Houston. The train will be taking the Sunset Route to San Antonio to help feed the Eagle Ford shale region's big appetite for sand during the fracking boom of the early 2010's.

 

Also of note, a reactivated 90MAC is trailing 4th out in this consist.
