On ex-Missouri Pacific trackage - I don't remember exactly where - probably in the Taylor,Tx area.

I like this. Who says Texas is all flat?

Texas certainly isn't flat, except in a few cases.  The UP line thru Wichita Falls is full of hogbacks , and they are found on the Glidden Sub too. The closer you get to the coastal areas, the flatter the landscape becomes.

You would be surprised how many good sized hills are in east Texas.  Some are hard pulls.

Very nicely composed action photo.  Especially like the how you captured the undulating track profile.
Thanks for the nicely done photo posting.

Classic Grain Train! Looks like the second unit is a Missouri Pacific Canary.
