4014 on Winter St
The Freight Main of UP's Houston Sub runs right down the middle of Winter St for a few blocks in the First Ward. This pseudo-street running makes for a cool sight on a fairly busy stretch of railroad.
Though on this Monday morning, the Freight Main gets an extra special visitor. The Big Boy, after public display at the Amtrak Station, runs right down Winter Street on its way out of town. It'll take a left at Tower 26 in a few miles to access the Toll Road for the route out of the city.
