M274 at Bringhurst

In order to help ease congestion at the west end of Englewood Yard in Houston, in 2023 UP added a third main track on their Houston Subdivision between Tower 68 and Tower 26 (about 2 miles). Here, after waiting for an eastbound, KCSM 4725 brings a westbound manifest down the new Main 2 (former Main 1) between Bringhurst and Carr St Jct.
