Riding Up Front
Returning from switching a customer on the north side of the bayou, the crew on this RCO job rides the front of their lead locomotive as they return to Booth Yard.
Bridge 5A over Buffalo Bayou here is a swing bridge, though it rarely performs that function anymore. Large marine traffic no longer travels upstream of this crossing, so the bridge only opens once a year for testing.
