They Only Come Out at Night
When one thinks of nocturnal creatures, what comes to mind ? Vampires, zombies (I think…) and Amtrak trains in the Houston area. The current schedule puts #1, the WB Sunset Limited into the station at 9:13 PM. Eastbound counterpart #2 is carded into Houston at 4:40 A.M.
Train #1 has always been an evening arrival into Houston. Train#2, until a few years ago, was scheduled into Houston at 9:50 A.M. This schedule allowed me to catch #2 in pretty decent light as it passed through the Sugar Land/Stafford area.

I didn’t notice it at the time I took the picture, but there’s no baggage car on this train.
As with the last shot I posted of #2, today’s train had two private cars bringing up the rear of the train.
These gentlemen have the best seat in the house as the Sunset Limited passes through Stafford, TX
