Description:  Not knowing where the coal cars were going for storage was problematic for me. I expected it to stop about here, but it kept rolling west. So I determined that they were heading for Mission.

Title:  RVSC Coal Train
Description:  The power has cut off and sits in the clear. The entire 8000ft coal train will be pushed toward the end of its ownership at milepost 42. This will block the Border Pacific's rail connection and the cars will have to be moved every time BOP and RVSC want to interchange cars.

RVSC McAllen Hauler
Title:  RVSC McAllen Hauler
Description:  About to pass one of the last oil-fuel dealer still located along the tracks in the Rio Grande Valley. Nearly every town had at least one, but over time they shut down and all traces have been removed. Most towns now have empty lots and open fields where these small oil distributors were once located. This one still was last carrying Exxon signs.
