Astros Train at Minute Maid Park

Papa and Aunt Cara took this picture of the train that is at Minute Maid Park in Houston, Texas - home of the Houston Astros. They are Papas favorite pro baseball team. Papa says he used to listen to the Astros on the radio with his dad when he was a little boy. Aunt Cara's favorite player is Hunter Pence. The train is inside the ballpark!

The 8162 going by Gigi's Lake House

Finally! Gigi was able to get some video of a Union Pacific train that runs the track near the lake house by Onapa Road, McIntosh county, Oklahoma. While driving to Checotah to mail Uncle Cody's birthday card, I spotted the train. So, I pulled over and grabbed the Flip Video Ultra camera and took this video (a little more than two minutes). This is Engine 8612, heading south from Checotah toward Eufaula on June 14th.

I didn't take time to count the cars Dylan but it would be great if you would do that. What do you notice about the train? How many engines did it have? What do you suppose it was hauling? Where was the caboose?
