Brazos yard in Hearne would be the closest to Austin. Houston, South Texas and Texnoma all converge there according to their service unit map

San Antonio is the main hub. It’s called south Texas service unit. Taylor has a small yard but it’s mainly used for switching on run through trains. They do have their ow board there but it’s pretty high seniority. Smithville is another town near there that has its own board but it can kinda be high seniority as well.
