Keep me posted at 5:20. I’m sitting in a parking lot in Memorial Park
with a pretty good view of the track.

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
