Yes it is and runs all kinds of weird hours.

Mission Hills is in Henderson SE of College and 95. Nice custom home area, my favorite in Henderson.

Been wondering about that too since the tracks don't cross 95 at RR Pass anymore.

UP still runs out the Henderson Branch, daily, as far as the big facility in the center of the map below (which isn't far from Railroad Pass). I don't know what they produce/do at this facility, but they get a ton of covered hopper cars on a regular basis.

Thats Poly-West, division of Poly-America. They make polyethylene plastics. Mostly trash bags and plastic sheeting.

Thanks! That makes sense. I guess the plastic pellets come in by rail and the finished products leave by truck. They sure do get quite a few carloads (sometimes 40-50 a day).
