Heading to Staging
Normally, a train leaving Houston for Arizona would be going west out of town. However, this train is heading north up the West Belt. At times when Englewood is plugged but there aren't crews to take a train out on the road, a dogcatch crew will drag a train out to stage it for later, in this case taking the train up to Pierce Yard off the East Belt.
For this train, it would sit at Pierce for almost 3 days as the power was stolen for another train a few hours after tying this one down.
