Power to Pierce
UP's Pierce Yard in northeast Houston is a real-world example of a model railroader's staging yard. It's often used to stage trains to get them out of originating yards (like Englewood) until power or crews are available to get the train out of town.
Here, a light power move from Englewood rolls on the East Belt towards Pierce to pick up the cars of the MEWWC that had been staged the day before. After getting the train put together and air-tested, they'll be on their way to California.
