A northbound BNSF manifest has a fresh crew and is untying in the siding of Rosenberg. Once the crew is ready to go and the UP train in the background is clear, the UP dispatcher will get a signal for the train to proceed north out of the siding and across the UP diamond, continuing north on the Galveston Subdivision.

There is a lot that happens at Rosenberg, TX, also known as Tower 17. UP's Glidden Sub (originally part of SP's Sunset Route) meets with BNSF's Galveston Sub and BNSF train, such as this one, move from trackage rights on UP's Glidden Sub on to their own tracks on the Galveston Sub. The Galveston Sub also continues on the right side of the shot toward Galveston, TX. Then, in the foreground at the switch, the KCS Rosenberg Sub starts, branching off from UP's Glidden Sub, heading south toward Mexico.
