rsb320 Posted October 26, 2012 Share Posted October 26, 2012 What's with the steam locomotive pulling yellow passenger cars? It's running on the track, under UH-D (the one that runs near Washington Ave. The train's horn is awesomely loud and eerily haunting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mkultra25 Posted October 27, 2012 Share Posted October 27, 2012 It's part of a traveling exhibit for Union Pacific's 150th anniversary celebration. The steam locomotive is the last one that was built for UP. http://up150.com/events/houston-community-celebration Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fringe Posted October 31, 2012 Share Posted October 31, 2012 I saw the train on Monday in Hearne while returning from Fort Worth. Almost stopped to see what it was all about. Wish I had now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
