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. Robert

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.

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
