Two train evening in Austin.
Author: atx_railfan

I managed to get out and hunt down some trains this evening in Austin.

1) A northbound Z train cruises alongside the MoPac Expressway, just south of Sneed Siding.

2) An absolutely filthy AC44 rebuild trails

3) A fresh CM44AC (rebuilt from a C44-9W) leads a rock train under the Hancock Drive overpass

4) A roster shot of UP 9820

5) One of the fairly new Cemex gondolas on the train

6) The rear DPUs pass under the freeway

Short and sweet post today.
Thanks for viewing!

Nice coverage of Austin. I was just exploring that line on Google Earth the other day, so it's nice to see some action shots. Thanks for sharing!

Interesting location.  I like UP's paint scheme in general and the fresh paint sure looks good.
