UPRR11 just uploaded a video:

The westbound Sunset Limited passes me at Harlem Road east of Richmond, TX at 7:35 PM, 5/26/12.

The track in front of the train is Harlem Siding, which has a KCS Intermodal waiting in it. AMTK 167 is on the Glidden Sub main, but although track speed is 79, it's only doing 40 mph due to a speed restriction. (The detector at MP 30.5, about a mile to the west, said it was going 47 mph).

And yes, I didn't have the tripod ready when the train arrived. So, my dad and I were trying to get it aimed and set up as the train was approaching. We got it set up right just as the train entered the crossing, so I guess it's all right.
