RU CT: Houston TX to Dallas TX - 07/28/14
RED CONSIST: 60 Cars = 4 Stocks, 35 Coaches, 2 COFC, 19 Flats. (Total 256 axles less power)

REMINDER: RBBB Rail Transportation Routings (RTR’s) and Times are made in advance and Subject to Change (STC) without notice as the host railroad(s) require. ROUTINGS AND TIMES ARE UNPREDICTABLE, a lot can change during departure, although the CT’s are to run ahead of schedule if the host RR’s can accommodate. Crew Changes, Service Stops and Consist Rearrangement can occur anywhere or anytime along the route at the discretion of the operating/transportation officials.

As of this Post Time, it appears the routing will be the same as in 2013.
NPR: Possible UP RUCTID – SHODA28. Out of Pierce Yard Facility, Houston, Valley Junction [southwest of Hearne], Ft. Worth (Ney Yard), with arrival scheduled for Tuesday in Dallas, TX. DGNO “usually takes” the CT’s down the old SP, and onto the connector to head east and could be seen from the South Fitzhugh Avenue Bridge. In 2013 UP departed Dallas with Stocks and Flats for UP Miller Yard, along Carbondale Street and north of Great Trinity Forest Blvd overpass bridge.
