KCS 4831 East at Sugar Land
Description:
KCS 4831 leads an eastbound manifest through Sugar Land, TX, which is about 25 miles southwest of Houston. The track on the right, which a KCS grain train with KCS 4110 on the rear is sitting in, is Sugar Land Siding. However, UP is working on double-tracking the Glidden Subdivision through here, which is why new intermediate signals are standing by.

Description:
