Temple and Back
Work took me up to Temple today for a quick repair job. The BNSF was mostly quiet on the way up although I did see a southbound at Milano and couple jobs in and around Temple proper. On the way home I caught up to a southbound grain hopper job pulling into the siding at Hoyte and then another south job in the hole at Milano. Unfortunately, the northbound coal empty was already passing him at Milano so nothing to be had there. Oh well, a few trains but no photos/vids.

Pantano Union Pacific Railroad Bridge Demolition (March 2013)
For those familiar with the Southern Pacific Sunset Route east of Tucson this little vid might be of interest. The UP has implemented a line change that removed one of the horseshoe curves south of IH-10 near Marsh Station.

This vid shows the removal of the railroad bridge over IH-10 closer to Marsh Station. South of here IH-10 goes over the line which remains as a stub track storage area. The last time I was there the stub was host to a bunch of covered hoppers.

Union Pacific's First Quarter 2013 Earnings Report
Earnings report slides
A couple of notes from the slides.
The Southern Region is near 2006 levels which was back during the boom time. Yay for us!
Elsewhere there is talk of shifting traffic patterns, again I suspect the Southern Region is helping out here. Hello Eagle Ford Shale!
There's a LOT of good information in their 2012 Fact Book. It makes for an excellent read.
