    This is one of three Class 1s that once served this city- now down to two Class 1s and a short line.

    Hint number 2

    There are two yards that parallel each other- each was of a different railroad, and now are owned by the same one.

    Hint # 3

    See that line down the middle of the picture? I didn't put it there- it exists for a reason ............... ;)

    Texarkana, TX/AR

    Hometown of H. Ross Perot, straddling the Texas-Arkansas state line, Texarkana once hosted the Missouri Pacific, Cotton Belt and Kansas City Southern- it still has KCS, but SSW and MP have become Union Pacific, and the ex-T&P Transcontinental Division that ran west to Paris, Sherman, Whitesboro and Ft. Worth is operated by the Texas Northeastern from Texarkana to New Boston, 25 miles west.
