PTRA 1914 - GP38-2

The Port Terminal Railroad Authority exists to serve the Port of Houston. It's land & assets are owned by the port itself, and the railroad is composed of three "member lines" that split operating costs: UP, BNSF, & CPKC.

 

While the PTRA was founded in 1924, the Port of Houston itself dates back 10 years earlier to 1914. To celebrate the PTRA's 100th anniversary, the railroad has painted 4 locomotives in commemorative paint schemes. Two in a Texas flag scheme to honor the railroad, and two in this white & gray scheme to honor the Port of Houston.
