Daylight gave me an opportunity to record each piece of equipment of the U-LSSFLX.

 

Add this to Track Inspector Bird being issued a track warrant for "my" segment so I can photograph the equipment with even safer knowledge of knowing I would not be encountering an train coming through (not that I was ~that~ close to the tracks to start with.)

 

Ran into Mr. Bird midway through the shoot and had a nice conversation. The track equipment will be unloaded Tuesday morning 08:00. The empty train will be shuttled back south and stored at TMPA siding (MP139) - Gibbons Creek Generating Station is shut down until June, so the siding is not needed for coal trains or taking up a valuable passing siding for north / southbound meets).

Well, one of my questions have been answered: Flynn siding track symbol designation is FLX!

 

In preparation of next weeks tie replacement, this 19 car consist of track equipment arrived this evening to be tied down on the Flynn Siding. They will be offloaded Monday or Tuesday to begin work on the Houston Sub and if I understand correctly, they will be stored overnight on the Flynn house track for a few nights.

 

This is the next chapter to the numerous transits of the BNSF TEC trains and tie drop that have taken place over the last 60 days.

Daylight gave me an opportunity to record each piece of equipment of the U-LSSFLX.

 

Add this to Track Inspector Bird being issued a track warrant for "my" segment so I can photograph the equipment with even safer knowledge of knowing I would not be encountering an train coming through (not that I was ~that~ close to the tracks to start with.)

 

Ran into Mr. Bird midway through the shoot and had a nice conversation. The track equipment will be unloaded Tuesday morning 08:00. The empty train will be shuttled back south and stored at TMPA siding (MP139) - Gibbons Creek Generating Station is shut down until June, so the siding is not needed for coal trains or taking up a valuable passing siding for north / southbound meets).

Well, one of my questions have been answered: Flynn siding track symbol designation is FLX!

 

In preparation of next weeks tie replacement, this 19 car consist of track equipment arrived this evening to be tied down on the Flynn Siding. They will be offloaded Monday or Tuesday to begin work on the Houston Sub and if I understand correctly, they will be stored overnight on the Flynn house track for a few nights.

 

This is the next chapter to the numerous transits of the BNSF TEC trains and tie drop that have taken place over the last 60 days.

Daylight gave me an opportunity to record each piece of equipment of the U-LSSFLX.

 

Add this to Track Inspector Bird being issued a track warrant for "my" segment so I can photograph the equipment with even safer knowledge of knowing I would not be encountering an train coming through (not that I was ~that~ close to the tracks to start with.)

 

Ran into Mr. Bird midway through the shoot and had a nice conversation. The track equipment will be unloaded Tuesday morning 08:00. The empty train will be shuttled back south and stored at TMPA siding (MP139) - Gibbons Creek Generating Station is shut down until June, so the siding is not needed for coal trains or taking up a valuable passing siding for north / southbound meets).

Daylight gave me an opportunity to record each piece of equipment of the U-LSSFLX.

 

Add this to Track Inspector Bird being issued a track warrant for "my" segment so I can photograph the equipment with even safer knowledge of knowing I would not be encountering an train coming through (not that I was ~that~ close to the tracks to start with.)

 

Ran into Mr. Bird midway through the shoot and had a nice conversation. The track equipment will be unloaded Tuesday morning 08:00. The empty train will be shuttled back south and stored at TMPA siding (MP139) - Gibbons Creek Generating Station is shut down until June, so the siding is not needed for coal trains or taking up a valuable passing siding for north / southbound meets).

Well, one of my questions have been answered: Flynn siding track symbol designation is FLX!

 

In preparation of next weeks tie replacement, this 19 car consist of track equipment arrived this evening to be tied down on the Flynn Siding. They will be offloaded Monday or Tuesday to begin work on the Houston Sub and if I understand correctly, they will be stored overnight on the Flynn house track for a few nights.

 

This is the next chapter to the numerous transits of the BNSF TEC trains and tie drop that have taken place over the last 60 days.

Well, one of my questions have been answered: Flynn siding track symbol designation is FLX!

 

In preparation of next weeks tie replacement, this 19 car consist of track equipment arrived this evening to be tied down on the Flynn Siding. They will be offloaded Monday or Tuesday to begin work on the Houston Sub and if I understand correctly, they will be stored overnight on the Flynn house track for a few nights.

 

This is the next chapter to the numerous transits of the BNSF TEC trains and tie drop that have taken place over the last 60 days.

Daylight gave me an opportunity to record each piece of equipment of the U-LSSFLX.

 

Add this to Track Inspector Bird being issued a track warrant for "my" segment so I can photograph the equipment with even safer knowledge of knowing I would not be encountering an train coming through (not that I was ~that~ close to the tracks to start with.)

 

Ran into Mr. Bird midway through the shoot and had a nice conversation. The track equipment will be unloaded Tuesday morning 08:00. The empty train will be shuttled back south and stored at TMPA siding (MP139) - Gibbons Creek Generating Station is shut down until June, so the siding is not needed for coal trains or taking up a valuable passing siding for north / southbound meets).

Well, one of my questions have been answered: Flynn siding track symbol designation is FLX!

 

In preparation of next weeks tie replacement, this 19 car consist of track equipment arrived this evening to be tied down on the Flynn Siding. They will be offloaded Monday or Tuesday to begin work on the Houston Sub and if I understand correctly, they will be stored overnight on the Flynn house track for a few nights.

 

This is the next chapter to the numerous transits of the BNSF TEC trains and tie drop that have taken place over the last 60 days.

Daylight gave me an opportunity to record each piece of equipment of the U-LSSFLX.

 

Add this to Track Inspector Bird being issued a track warrant for "my" segment so I can photograph the equipment with even safer knowledge of knowing I would not be encountering an train coming through (not that I was ~that~ close to the tracks to start with.)

 

Ran into Mr. Bird midway through the shoot and had a nice conversation. The track equipment will be unloaded Tuesday morning 08:00. The empty train will be shuttled back south and stored at TMPA siding (MP139) - Gibbons Creek Generating Station is shut down until June, so the siding is not needed for coal trains or taking up a valuable passing siding for north / southbound meets).

Daylight gave me an opportunity to record each piece of equipment of the U-LSSFLX.

 

Add this to Track Inspector Bird being issued a track warrant for "my" segment so I can photograph the equipment with even safer knowledge of knowing I would not be encountering an train coming through (not that I was ~that~ close to the tracks to start with.)

 

Ran into Mr. Bird midway through the shoot and had a nice conversation. The track equipment will be unloaded Tuesday morning 08:00. The empty train will be shuttled back south and stored at TMPA siding (MP139) - Gibbons Creek Generating Station is shut down until June, so the siding is not needed for coal trains or taking up a valuable passing siding for north / southbound meets).
