Here is another industry in the south part of Houston. The spur comes off the "mainline" leading into the southern end of the BNSF Mykawa yard. The spur drops about 12 feet in oh, say, 200 feet, which is a substantial drop. I assume that the industry does coating on pipe. I've seen flat cars loaded down with pipe coming out of the spur.
