Until late December, South Central Texas has had a mild fall and early winter. As a result, there has been some fall color along the Glidden Subdivision. Here, oranges and yellows predominate, unlike the vivid reds farther east and north.

Here, a mixed freight approaches Flatonia TX through one of the patches of fall color.
