All,

Train 2(24) is detouring off their usual track between HOS & BMT this afternoon. Anyone know what's up?
 
Possibly to avoid freight traffic around the UP yards in northeast Houston. This is not uncommon; they don't lose much time on this route, even with a necessary backing move. I rode it once eastbound to NOL.

BTW, that yard has a 'hump'. Interesting to watch.
