Chasing The Austin Western No. 112 From Elgin - Giddings, Texas

Awesome footage! Always great to see someone other than me filming operations on this part of the line!

@@thetexasrailfan I’m going to try and start catching it more, when I get the chance.

Great video, thanks!

Great footage, but I would go crazy going that slow for that long.

[@texasrailwayproductions5753]

Yeah, they leave Manor at 8am and usually arrive in Giddings at noon. They do 10-15mph the entire way. So it takes them 4 hours, but if you are driving from Manor to Giddings it only takes 40mins.

Did the exact same chase in the past week, thanks for the sub! Love when I catch this run, love me some slow moving shortline action.

Surprised to see those big, heavy 6 axle locomotives and that train on those old deferred looking tracks.

@@scotabot7826 they run a train everyday Monday through Friday on these lines. The city of Austin & Cap Metro own the railroad but have a contractor do the work.
