Running in last position is #4309 with the string of spine cars following as it heads north on the former ATSF track. Note the Amtrak loading platform between the two former ATSF tracks.

A dirty C44-9W leading an ethanol train waits for an Amtrak train to pass before continuing for the Gulf coast.
A BNSF ethanol train waits in a siding for a late running Texas Eagle to pass north before continuing on for the Gulf coast. Although hard to tell from the heat distortion, another C44/9W is bringing up the rear as the DPU. The bridge cutting the train in half is US-67.
