Western Railroad Discussion > Some Sunday happenings down Galveston way

Didn't have much time today to run around chasing trains (plus, with gas getting as high as it is, you tend to be particular).

I did head down towards Galveston on a whim, and found the GAL231 local (I think??? Any corrections to the train???) with a single Dash-9, #4473 on point, heading out from the BNSF Galveston Yard (someone once asked me to get some yard photos ~ well, here is one). First photo kinda bites because the sun is behind the train.

Second photo is of a tank car of a kind I have not seen in a few years. Third photo explains why I have not seen one.
