UP Stack train chased by KCS grain train in Houston

Another video taken between Bellaire and Bissonnet in Houston. In my daily driving I noticed that no trains had moved for most of the afternoon. I arrived at this location at just the perfect time to catch a UP stack train northbound. A KCS train had been stopped on the other track just south of Bellaire Blvd. for hours, and it got a green signal just after the UP train passed. I'm sure its happened before, but this is the first time I had ever seen both tracks with trains going the same direction simultaneously at this spot.

Very cool! The KCS schedule is very weird. I have seen them sit for hours on the sidings between Houston and Victoria with no other traffic whatsoever. I just caught a BNSF through Victoria today, first time I have seen that!!! (it was a single BNSF engine pulling BNSF cars and KCS and others as well).

Thanks for sharing!!!

Wow, that is awesome! Funny I came across this video.  I had mentioned to my husband the other day that I thought the r/r were becoming more congested. I live along Sunset (Richmond, Tx).
