Kinder Morgan Coke Train
The PTRA's Coke Job is a unique move. It shuttles petroleum coke between Lyondell Basell's refinery and Kinder Morgan's Deepwater Terminal export facility, both on the south side of the Houston Ship Channel. Although it once ran in daylight, in mid-2020 this became an overnight turn job.
Here, one of Kinder Morgan's three SD40-2's handles a train of empties all by itself as it rolls west at Pasadena Jct on UP's Strang Sub.
