Sharing some more shots from my Houston trip last month - these are much more touristy than the last couple I posted

 

Beautiful photos of very nice looking Houston area.  And great subjects.

Houston Railfaning - Some More Touristy Shots

Sharing some more shots from my Houston trip last month - these are much more touristy than the last couple I posted --

First is the Southern Pacific "Santa Fe" type that sits in front of Minute Maid Park. This is a handsome looking in engine (many thanks to forum member edblysard for giving me the history on this locomotive).

Second is Houston Union Station, which has been beautifully restored to become the homeplate entrance of Minute Maid Park.

Next is an LRV heading south with the skyline behind it.

And here is one of my favorite sights on the trip, a Houston Belt & Terminal S2 at the local railroad musem.

And last but not least, the Houston skyline and Englewood Yard from Wayside.

Thank you for looking and corrections are welcome.
