Tuesday, May 6, 2008 just west of
Glidden, Texas on UP's Sunset Line. One empty gondola train today
headed by UP 7532, a westbound up the hill from Glidden close to
Milepost 205.
Glidden is just west of Columbus, Texas, about 90 miles west of
Houston. The Sunset Limited
uses this line.

LEFT-Saw this sign close to Industry, Texas today. RIGHT-Sunset line
looking east. I was at an unnamed private crosssing between mp 205 and
206 west of Glidden, TX. US Highway 90 is just to the right of the
tracks here.
LEFT-Looking west. RIGHT-3:27 p.m. May 6. UP's Glidden yards can be
seen at the bottom of the hill.
LEFT-3:28 p.m. The overpass is US Highway 71. RIGHT-3:35 p.m.
Looks like a pretty decent grade to me.
UP 7532 in the lead.
