UP (MP) train in Texas
Author: gcm

UP freight with three ex-Missouri Pacific units (not sure about that fourth one) are on ex-MP rails.
I don't remember the exact spot - maybe in the Taylor area.

Nice photos, but not sure that's a transfer waycar. The MOP had this type for road service I believe.

Seeing water tower in first photo  makes me think between Taylor and Hutto.

As skinem noted, that is indeed a road caboose, not a transfer caboose.
