SP Alco RS11 #2900 working in Houston |
| Description: |
Looking east, the Alco is taking a few cabooses,cars and an engine to the yard at Hardy St. The building to the left is the long gone Tower 26. The SP line through east Texas to Shreveport headed NE at the tower. The track to the upper right (immediately below the maintenance trucks) is the passenger main that passed through downtown Houston and the SP/Amtrak station -- as it still does today. The Sunset still uses it and also during this time the Lone Star consist,overnight, was brought out to the wye at the tower to be turned for its return trip to Chicago. A few miles east is Englewood Yd. |

SP Alco RS11 #2900 working in Houston |
| Description: |
This was one of the Alco RS11 demonstrator units built in 1956. #2900 waits to pick up some cars with the Hardy St shops and yards in the background. The main track to the left was the freight route which bypassed the passenger station downtown. |
