CN 3115 ventured onto UP rails last month, leading manifest MPSHO 14 from Parsons, KS to Settegast Yard. Unfortunately, the train arrived under some terrible mostly-cloudy lighting conditions. I was able to get this shot of the train rolling past the west end of Englewood Yard on the Houston Sub main, thanks to a pop-up storm that prevented this scene from being entirely backlit. Not exactly the shot I had hoped for, but it was neat to finally shoot one of CN's heritage units.

Recently revived after being abolished under PSR, UP's Houston-Tucson manifest MEWTU-15 is fresh out of Englewood Yard and heading west on the Houston Sub northwest of downtown.

Light rail station on Main Street. This street is unrecognizable as compared to the way it was 10 years ago.
One of CSX's Huntington SD70AC rebuilds, #4563, takes UP's MEWOL-15 (Houston-Brownsville, TX) south down the East Belt through Houston's East End. The train was held up out of Englewood Yard long enough for the sun to be right in the optimal position for this shot, commencing an all-afternoon chase.

Snow doesn't happen often in Houston, only once every 3-4 years on average. And even then, most snowfall is less than an inch. But January 2025 brought a unique snowstorm that dropped white powder across the Gulf Coast from Houston to the Florida panhandle.
Central Houston received about 4 inches of the white stuff in the morning, still stuck to the ground, locomotives, and railcars that afternoon as this Mexico-bound manifest leaves Houston behind.
