Western Railroad Discussion > Find the red spot to jack engineDate: 04/11/12 20:06 Find the red spot to jack engine Author: PALuvR I spent the day in Taylor, TX where the UP Waco Sub and Austin Sub cross. Had a pretty good day and got some interesting pics. The post "Subject" was provided by the AEGAS. Trailing unit UP 5633 provided the inspiration.
Mike 1. UP 5633 C44ACCTE 2-3. Closeup    Date: 04/11/12 20:18 Re: Find the red spot to jack engine Author: PALuvR Here is the rest of the story. Caught a NB ballast train at 11:25 in Manchaca (MP 190) on the UP Austin Sub on the way to the Post Office this morning. Mailed my income tax check so I hoped things would get better. After running a few errands, I headed to Taylor where I spent the day.

Brian Stevens Date: 04/12/12 18:19 Re: Find the red spot to jack engine Author: PALuvR Check today's post "A few more from yesterday". The upper signal is for the SB connector to the Waco Sub. The lower signal is for the NB main out of Taylor.
