Me and two friends chased the PSAHO2-06 from Seguin, Texas to Rosenberg, Texas on the UPRR Glidden Subdivision. We knew that it was going to be a cluster ****, so we planned ahead of time to leap frog one another so that we could get as much footage as possible. A big thank you to Darrel Yeates and Andrew Baker for sharing the footage from this amazing event.

I thoroughly enjoyed watching Ed blowing the whistle through the Flatonia quiet zone! Great video!

They say "Everything's Bigger in Texas", well this 1.2 million lb visitor definitely was an exception. Amazing footage!

Yes it was, and no. I won't ever forget this as long as I live! They had to blow because of the dumbass gp mobbing on the rail!

Awesome set of shots. I caught up with him in Houston and followed all the way through Hearne.

@@TexasSpecial91 Absolutely not! I have dealt with those people before when UP4141 came through. I got ahead of the train, set up, watched it go by, and moved on to the next location. I was set up along a two way road and people were pacing it in both lanes causing all kinds of chaos.

Awesome, about 20 years ago had an opportunity to buy a house in Flatonia adjacent to the "Middle Street" crossing, but thanks be to my sister in distribution of my mother's estate, fell short of the down payment of what used to be the home of the Methodist Church pastor. BTW: How is Tommy Shults doing, it's been years since I have touched base with him, I understand he's no longer on Internet, I used to have his phone number on the phone at my former apartment. 🤠
