Just note, it has no official stops in Houston as CPKC has no customers or track in Houston. Shreveport Is the nearest CPKC track to the east & Rosenburg to the west. They use trackage rights to pass thru Houston. I did note they use the passenger main thru downtown so they will go thru the Amtrak Depot. They may spend the night here but there will not be any train show here. They will have to make stops for water, which they select as per the water quality as well as access, maybe the depot. When UP 844 past thru, they filled up at the Bellaire Blvd. crossing using Bellaire water. Robert
