    4449 looks pretty, but that GN F45 probably hasn't looked that glossy since it came out of La Grange!

    Nice digs!:)

    Have always thought that this location seemed like a model RR spot. Trains passing a baseball field...

    That knob does get fairly well packed when the college is playing ball!

    The old MoPac/Katy joint line from Houston to Galveston passed right behind the foot ball stadium at Dickinson High School where I attended. Many a game was punctuated by a passing freight that drowned out the play-by-play announcer on the PA.
    This photo is from an earlier era but the stadium was built just to the left of this siding.
