Cloudy Skies at Niles Jct

Under stormy afternoon skies, BNSF 6659 brings CPKC grain loads westward through Niles Jct on the west side of Houston.

 

This control point once accessed a spur that served a number of industries along the north side of the Sunset Route here. All have since closed or relocated, so the spur has been relegated to a weed-grown set-out track protected by searchlight signals.
