My favorite train watching spot is in Old Town Spring in Southeast Texas just north of Houston. The old depot burned down several years back when they made it into a restaurant and somebody left the grill on at night! They rebuilt it to look like the old one. There is an old railroad hotel called Wunche's next to track that is now also a restaurant. There are two tracks that converge here, one from the west tees into the north-south tracks that go past the Lloyd yard. Union Pacific tracks of course, but there is some BNSF traffic every now and then. The best feeling is when I come up on the signals and see a green light for a norht bounder. Can't see the train's headlights yet, but know it is probably high balling and will be there soon. All of the engineers know us and wave back when they pass! I like to read the railroad art on the side of the cars, does anyone know how these cartoons come to be placed on the cars?
