Reflection |
| Description: |
The reflection of UP 9777 and its short ballast train can be seen in a water filled ditch beside the tracks. The water was left over from heavy rains that hit the Houston area prior. However, those rains would soon be dwarfed by the historic rains that hit Texas and Oklahoma only a week later. |

High Water Under the Bridge |
| Description: |
This is a picture of the Brazos River running past UP's bridge over the river in Richmond, TX. Normally, the river's height is about 40-50 ft below the deck of the bridge. However, with the historic levels of rain that has fallen during the last week of May, the river has risen more than 35 ft, placing is just beneath the deck of the bridge. And here's the kicker. When this picture was taken, the river was still rising. |
