Mon, 12 Mar 2007 00:59:00 GMT

UP 1849 makes it way west from Houston to the Union Pacific Diamond in Flatonia, TX.

I didn't see it leave, but I presume this was so it could proceed North on the UP line since there's no switch for westbound trains to head North directly.

Sun, 17 Dec 2006 23:25:00 GMT

Today we head back to New Orleans where we caught Amtrak's Train #58, the northbound City of New Orleans in Kenner, LA.

You'll also find a special bonus clip today too, since the HD footage is short with these Amtrak clips. It's an interesting perspective of a passing train in Bay Saint Louis, MS in February 2005. We filmed this clip using a little Canon digital camera, so it's not in HD. But it's still kinda cool. :)

Enjoy!
