A BNSF trackage rights train, H-TPLEAP1-12D, peels off UP's Giddings Sub and onto UP's Smithville Sub at West Point, Texas. BNSF acquired lots of trackage rights as a result of the UP-SP merger. This train originated in Temple, Texas, and is bound for the Mexican border at Eagle Pass. The seven Wabtec locomotives in primer are among a batch of former NS units headed to Ferromex. The train has 31 loads, 40 empties, weighs in at 6,515 tons and is 5,160 feet long.
