Rust Bucket on the SP Dead Line

Houston, TX

Hardy Street Shop - mid 90's
Builder EMD Model SD45T-2

The Hardy Yards were the Southern Pacific Railroad’s main locomotive shops in Texas.

The first railroad here was the Houston And Texas Central in 1856; the shops were built
sometime around the Civil War and were in continuous use into the 1990s.

The Union Pacific Railroad sold the property after it shifted locomotive work elsewhere
in Houston and to Pine Bluff, Arkansas.
