KCS Biz Train Through Houston - a photo on Flickriver

            After appearing in Laredo for the ribbon-cutting ceremony for the Ottensmeyer Bridge (the new international bridge over the Rio Grande into Mexico), KCS 1 and the Southern Belle business train are now hightailing it eastward. The train is headed to Shreveport this evening to pick up supplies, then will make a quick turn-around and roll through the night down to New Orleans for the Super Bowl.

Here, the former KCS F9 trio rolls down Winter St in Houston's First Ward. This is on UP's Houston Sub, part of the 120 or so miles of trackage rights CPKC trains use between Rosenberg and Beaumont, TX. At Beaumont, the biz train will return to CPKC rails and head north for Shreveport.
