BNSF Grain Loads at Chaney Jct
Under an agreement inherited between ATSF and SP, BNSF sends a number of trackage-rights trains into and out of Houston on the Sunset Route to and from Rosenberg. These trains normally utilize UP's Harrisburg Sub between West Jct and T&NO Jct across south Houston, but on rare occasion a BNSF train will stay on UP's Houston Sub and run via Eureka.
Here is one of those instances as an eastbound BNSF grain load rolls through Chaney Jct on UP's Houston Sub. The train loaded at the Illinois International Port on the Chicago Rail Link, who interchanged the train with BNSF via the Belt Railway of Chicago. Now in Houston, BNSF will hand off the train to the Port Terminal Railroad Authority to export the grain via the Houston Ship Channel.
