Also, There is a live feed camera at tower 26 which is where the passenger main parts from the Freight main east of downtown. Train will pass here as it comes into HOUSTON.

I will keep you informed as the date gets closer. I am a subcontractor for UP and they will keep me advised as they enter UP trackage. After it passes thru Rosenburg about 2 Miles it enters CPKC trackage. About 15-20 years ago KCS bought the Victoria sub from SP (UP). The track went to Wharton but had been removed completely Bare grass, from Wharton to Victoria. KCS re-laid the track and now runs that line.

I have seen the KC on UP tracks in Houston, on the bridge over I 45, I think they have trackage rights to complete their system. This is quite a trip they have taken. I remember chasing The Royal Hudson through the mountains from los Angeles. I remember the engineer saying at a stop that we were doing a good job of keeping up but their orders on the flat land was 75 and this was in the days of 55mph. It was now 5:00 AM and I had worked all night so I went home. There should be a lot of good chasing on 59 down south.

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.
