 With the Union Pacific Rail Lines running near Uvalde and along Highway 90, there are numerous opportunities to see a variety of train tag art painted on boxcars. 

Oftentimes using heavily stylized fonts and letters that seem to spell some cryptic word, these examples of outlaw art are often seen especially when a train is stopped on a parallel set of tracks allowing for another train to pass. 

 This boxcar has the word, “FLOW” painted in 10,000 pt size (wild estimate). The saying, “Go with the flow” comes to mind or perhaps the artist was once a systems analyst spending years creating “flow charts”

before quitting.

This airplane tail section might look like something from a crash site but its just part of an old commercial aircraft that has been salvaged.

Top photo: Travelers stop to take pictures of the Matthew McConaughey cut out located at the intersection of Highway 90 and Hacienda Road.

Sometimes the best stories are ones told with pictures. Here are a few of the interesting photos the Uvalde Hesperian have taken in Uvalde, Uvalde County and the surrounding area.

Over in nearby Hondo, there is a company called Hondo Aerospace located near the Hondo Regional Airport that is in the business of buying old commercial jet aircraft and salvaging them for parts. The airframes can be seen from Spatz Road near the airport,

According to the Hondo Aerospace website under About Us, it reads:

“Store Your Planes In A City Dedicated Entirely To Them

After piercing through the mighty sky and crossing over continents, your aircraft needs a vacation at a place where it will be really looked after. How about the City of Planes?

Almost as vast as the sky itself, Hondo Aerospace takes pride in being the City of Planes. We specialize in aircraft storage and green harvesting”
