Union Pacific's Austin Subdivision runs over ex Missouri Pacific tracks from Tower 105 (San Antonio, TX) to Hearne (TX) via New Braunfels, Austin, McNeil, Taylor and Valley Junction. Most of the traffic on this line runs northbound, although a few trains such as Amtrak's Texas Eagle and a couple of locals (both BNSF and UP) run in both directions. The line hosts a minimum of 18+ trains a day, and consists of multiple connections with other UP routes, the Austin Western Railroad, Georgetown Railroad and the Rockdale Sandow & Southern.
