BURLINGTON NORTHERN SANTA FE YARD IN CONROE TEXAS Located about 2 blocks East of the interlocker with the UP Palestine Sub is Conroe's BNSF Yard. If you come in off IH 45 on HWY 105 after you cross tracks ( UP Palestine Sub.) turn right on 2nd St., go 2 blocks and when you come to tracks (BNSF Conroe Sub.) The Yard office is on your right. The yard power is usually on your left. But you never know what might be there. I've seen the famous "Slot Machine" and a ribbonrail train complete with caboose. Map to BNSF YARD Conroe, TX
