Signals |
| Description: |
The coal train passes the new signal at MP 250. Theres even a hint of color to the right of the signal, in what has been a lackluster year for fall foliage. |

Coming on |
| Description: |
A southbound TXUX train approaches a crossing north of Westville as it makes steady southward progress. Looks like it borrowed from the competition to get this train over the road!! |

Not much happening |
| Description: |
I went to see friends in Belen NM during December 2023, driving out from Arkansas. OF course, I had to stop in Tucumcari, hopefullly to see something passing the ex Rock/SP station there. Unfortunately, not much going on, just a couple of trains canned in the yard, among them this westbound. Id see more later, including a meet between here and Santa Rosa. |

Trailing along |
| Description: |
After I got the head end, it was just a matter of waiting out the DPU. I was hoping for a couple of units-the KCS, which crosses this line here, almost always runs their coal trains in a 2x3 configuration here-but UP runs them 2x1. Of course, their grade profile is a lot more favorable than the up and down KCS. Still, a nicely lit and nicely clean SD 70AH was a good finish as the train rolls past the local library, in the distance. |
