Tracks between Temple and Taylor is dark terrirtory, no CTC. Unless UP spent money on it the line and brought it into the 21st century.

You are late. The previous poster was on the train that day passing Big Sandy.

Your train went through at 11:05 AM

Where are the displaced Horizons from the Midwest?

Thank you. ERT is a major reason? What other train is being cut?
