Western Railroad Discussion > Four in Forty-five Minutes in Caldwell, TX-Giddings Sub

Made it to the overpass just in time on April 15 to catch four Southbound UP trains on the Giddings Sub at Caldwell, TX on April 15, 2015.  This is mostly a directional railroad with the exception of BNSF trackage rights trains and a few UP NB.

Thanks for looking.

A very productive 45 minutes:} Nice catch on the CN leader and the UP with the double "SPatches" on the Rock train. Also note the new snowplow on the SD70m leading the Rail train.

CN 8937: ASMKB-13 (Auto-Salem, IL-Kirby Yard, TX)

UP 4266: WDNBER-13 (Work train-Denison/Ray, TX-Bergstrom, TX-Rail)

UP 5652: KMNLD-14 (Priority Intermodal-Marion, AR-Laredo, TX)

UP 9774: RHKOG-15 (Rock-Hockley, TX-Ogden, TX)

These are excellent ! Excellent composition, too. I haven't been in that area for many tears.
Thanks for posting.

Thanks  UP 951.
