BNSF's Texas Funnel

This video shows the action on BNSF's busiest line in south Texas between Temple where BNSF's line from the West Coast joins the Kansas City to Houston main and Somerville where the lines to Houston and New Orleans split.  Chemical and intermodal traffic on this funnel has shown dramatic growth since BNSF gained access to New Orleans and additional shippers around Houston.  This video shows over 24 hours of action on BNSF's Texas Funnel between Temple and Somerville in May of 2003.  68 minutes.
