Fakebonnet 4718 on the Houston Sub |
Description: |
BNSF 4718 leads the NB H-HOUTUL manifest seen here at S. Karen. I saw this train earlier in the day at Orr when it passed H-LALSLA & I thought it was gone for good, but I found it later after its crew timed out holding the main. Somewhere between Orr & Karen, 4718 lost its upper headlight. |
