The other is the east/west UP Lafayette Subdivision line that roughly follows US 90. The [[Burlington Northern Santa Fe|BNSF]] has authority to operate its trains on the Baytown Subdivision from Dayton to just west of Baytown and has a rail yard just south of Dayton. Another rail line runs through the northern edge of the city, called the UP Beaumont Subdivision.  A study was performed by the Texas Department of Transportation concerning a Dayton-to-Cleveland single mainline rail corridor consisting of approximately 40 miles of track connecting the UP Lufkin Subdivision and the BNSF Conroe Subdivision near Cleveland to the UPRR Baytown Subdivision south of Dayton.<ref>{{Cite web |title=Houston-Beaumont Region Freight Study |url=https://ftp.txdot.gov/pub/txdot-info/rail/draft-report.pdf |access-date=February 27, 2023|website=Texas Department of Transportation}}</ref>
