Western Railroad Discussion > KCS "Belle" on SB UP Manifest in San Marcos, TX

I happened to be on an overpass in San Marcos which goes over Mains #1 and 2 of the UP Austin Sub when I saw a train heading south on Main #2 having just come off the Lockhart Sub. I hung a right onto I-35 and went south to Centerpoint Rd. I noticed a cut of loaded coal cars in ex-Katy yard at Jama and parked at the north end was a power set of 1 UP and 1 patched SP unit.

Shortly after I arrived, the power off the coal train came by heading south down #2. 1 minute later, the SB Manifest came through on #1. Lucky timing for a change!

I appreciate y'all having a look.
