Rare to see a Norfolk Southern in this area, but you were lucky enough to see one in two trains randomly. Great catches!

This spot used to be active but 7 years later only seeing 1-3 trains in 3 hours and 10 light rails!

This would be a great location for a fixed camera - a "Virtual Railfan" live feed. Any possibility of making it happen? As someone who once lived only about a mile away from this spot, in Millwood, I can testify that it's an ideal location...

I used to trainspotters from this location all the time! Thanks for posting!

Bad spell checker fill in: trainspot...

[@tm502010]

They could mount a camera on the Post Office...

I know it’s a bit late, but I just put in a suggestion for a VRF camera at this location. I agree - it would be a fantastic site!

Fantastic vid, very nicely done.

Awesome I love it!

[@phillipkidwell]

I know this thread is a few years old, is this still a great place to railfan? Does anyone know what time the Texas Eagle comes through?

[@HollywoodofSuburbia]

I got three Union Pacifics on my channel.
