They built a pretty impressive intermodal facility in Kendleton. Glidden sub comms on 160.770.

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. Robert

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.

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
