[quote user="rcdrye"] [quote user="Sam1"]No. 21 does not back into San Antonio; No. 22 backs out of the station.[/quote] That was a headscratcher - along with seeing the skyline on the LEFT on arrival.  The track arrangement from the old IGN to the SP station requires a backup move.  A bit of time on Google maps...  There is a connecting track between the former IGN and former MKT a few miles northeast of San Antonio that looks fairly new (UP era) that would permit 21 to circle around the city from northeast around to the west and south and end up at the SP station facing north on the east side of downtown.  The train gets turned into the bargain!  22 backs out and exits San Antonio via the IGN line. [/quote] Sounds right to me.  Last month I took the Eagle to San Antonio. I was sitting with some folks from Longview. When the Tower of the Americas came into view, one of the women called her husband and told him that the train would arrive in about five minutes.  Wrong!  From the time you see the tower, it takes nearly 25 to 30 minutes to get to the station. The train crawls along at 10 to 15 mph.
