I have heard that there is some work being done on the BNSF Dallas to Houston route through Teague, TX. Is anyone familiar with what's being done along this line and whether there could be an increase in traffic soon, perhaps from the Panama Canal expansion?

 

Had a recent conversation with a BNSF employee who mentioned that several work gangs had been sent to Texas to accomplish track work from several other areas. 

Could be done to utilize a 'slow period' in the scheme of traffic flows.  Slow traffic would allow larger windows to allow track gangs to accomplish more work without interruptions?
