Western Railroad Discussion > Just The Pics, No Drama, Please

Here's two pics from my action-packed Saturday (9/22/2017) night ( https://www.trainorders.com/discussion/read.php?1,4384887 )

Image #1 - Amtrak #1 passing the former Imperial Sugar mill in Sugar Land, Texas just after 7:30 PM. Imperial ceased operations here
some 10+ years back. Most of the old mill complex has been demolished, but the current plan is to save the iconic "Char House" and
re-develop it with retail and loft apartments.

Image #2 - KCS grain train GKCQRS is back on the move at Missouri City, TX after a 90+ minute delay while a wayward auto was
removed from the ROW at Sugar Land, TX. There's only a handful of SD70ACe's remaining in the as-delivered grey paint scheme.

Nice work Bob!

Just thinking the other day it's been 30 years(!) since you, Fred and I chased after that UP freight, with the C&NW SD50 leading, west from Victorville...

Thanks Alan. 30 years? I don't want to think about it! :-)))

Good times, nevertheless...
