H2 Heralds
Protecting the Sunset Route through Houston for more than 50 years, these US&S relics served faithfully for many years under the Southern Pacific and now Union Pacific. Unfortunately the control point that these signals protect, Niles Jct, would soon get replacement signals. But on this warm September evening in 2024, it was easy to stare in awe at these sentinels as they still served to protect train movements night and day.
These US&S H2's would finally come down in June 2025.
