Skyline & Searchlights

Just east of Downtown Houston, there's a small bastion of Houston Belt & Terminal searchlight signals still standing in everyday service. They protect two control points on the West Belt: CP Rusk (former Tower 84) and S GH&H Jct.

 

Here, a southbound UP manifest splits the searchlights at CP Rusk on the West Belt with a long train of tank cars and plastic pellet hoppers.
