Olmito Wye |
| Description: |
UP Brownsville Sub; looking south. In anticipation of using the new rail line to connect with Mexico, the north end of the wye has been reconfigured. The power switch with signals diverges right for Mexico and left for Olmito yard. A tempoarary switch allows the current line to continue south into downtown Brownsville. This will be removed once the new line officially opens. |

| Description: |
Several sources on the web including the media have stated that the new line to Mexico has opened and is in service, but such is not the case. The original alignment to downtown Brownsville is intact and has not been severed. |

Unofficial Fuel Rack for Olmito Yard |
| Description: |
A fuel truck is topping off the units on the lesser used leg of the Palo Jct wye. While the casual way the units are fueled is not alarming; not a single unit is facing forward to lead. And wyeing this group of units won't solve it either. |

Olmito Wye |
| Description: |
Kinda hard to see but the original alignment that went to downtown has been severed. Where the track diverges left is the route to the Olmito yard. There is a short tangent where another right hand switch allowed trains to continue to downtown Brownsville. |
