Dodging Shadows
Despite being mid-morning, long winter shadows have crept onto the tracks from surrounding buildings here in central Houston. This is the area called "Sawyer Yards", a part of Houston's First Ward that has redeveloped much of what was formerly just industrial land.
But true to the "Yards" moniker, many trains per day still run right through on the Freight Main of UP's Houston Sub. Like this one, a loaded rock train destined to feed Houston's insatiable appetite for concrete.
