An eastbound UP train on the Glidden Sub crosses through the interlocking at Rosenberg where UP, BNSF, and CPKC trains all converge. The back half of the train is on a stretch of track where only UP trains (and Amtrak) can run. But the head end is UP track that includes tracking rights with Amtrak, BNSF, and CPKC!

It takes many years...even decades...to replace all the old CTC signals across a railroad the size of Union Pacific. Indeed, many of the signals along the Glidden Sub in southern Texas have not been replaced. They are still the class SP tri-light signals that were used when the Scarlet and Gray came through here on the Sunset Route.

With a clear (green) signal now displayed, this eastbound UP manifest prepares to release the brakes and throttle up. It will enter the single track main that will take it east to Rosenberg and, eventually, in to the yard in Houston.
