The N-S line running just east of the airport and Olmos Park is the I&GN (MP) main line to Mexico. It runs almost due S, skirts the W side of downtown into SoSan yard, then past the stockyards and parallel to the ex-SP by Kelly, before the SP peels off to the west and the MP heads S along I35 to Laredo. A branch of the MP breaks off to the SE at SoSan and goes to Corpus Christi/Robstown and the Valley Line. The Katy runs along I35 on the NE side of town, cuts to the SW through Fort Sam Houston just north of BAMC, and crosses I35 just east of Coliseum, where it goes under the ex-SP at the east end of East Yard, loops around the east side south of the Coliseum and SBC Center, and crosses the ex-SP south of downtown. The ex-Kerrville Branch of the SP runs NW out of downtown, roughly parallel to I10 and W of the airport. <br /> <br />Hope this helps.
