Western Railroad Discussion > Rosenberg, Texas questionDate: 03/14/18 16:50 Rosenberg, Texas question Author: zfan I've been watching that new camera at Rosenberg, Texas (Tower 17) and have been wondering.... Are the westbound BNSF trains off the UP Glidden Sub, that veer back on to the BNSF at the diamond, trains from New Orleans (off ex-SP Sunset route)? Seems to be quite a few. Thanks in advance to an expert in that territory.

a much shorter and quicker route (Beaumont to Somerville) than going through Houston. I think the only exception to this generally is the Mossville coal traffic.

Would think all BNSF traffic would turn north at Richmond. Date: 03/15/18 08:39 Re: Rosenberg, Texas question Author: Milw_E70 millerdc Wrote:

Would think all BNSF > traffic would turn north at Richmond. It does...Glidden is the name of the UP subdivision in Rosenberg.
