Digital camera now set straight, here is the early morning #2 running over an hour late into Houston @ 6:47 am (official arrival was 7:09 am). As noted in the brief comment, the train had to slow down for a flashing yellow caution (and correct me if I'm wrong but that does indicate a temp speed of 25 mph or less, correct?) but surprised me as it still whooshed by at approx. 33 mph (in estimation).
The consist: P42s 154 and 157, 2 sleepers, diner, lounge, 2 coaches...very short yet again.
