I'm hearing a rumor that the 2816 will be coming back through Houston on her way home, with the Laredo-to-Kendleton leg occurring on June 17th.  I would assume the Houston pass-through would occur the following day.  Can anyone confirm this?

Also, I am sad to report that the 2816 was involved in a tragedy yesterday.  A lady was trying to get a selfie with the train as it passed through Hidalgo, Mexico.  She was struck by the locomotive and killed instantly.  Prayers for her family.

Stay SAFE, brothers and sisters.

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

            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
